It's always nice to find original paper, but having a reprint to use in the shop is best IMO.

And i thought i had a n.o.s. late 1931 owners manual . It was Mailed to the owner as late as 1937 [date on mailing envelope].James Thomas [ ADVERTISING the MODEL "A" FORD] book ,,,at Hershey showed me the difference. He stated,, by the date on the envelope proved to him that FORD was doing Copies of Owner's Manual earlier then he thought. :>(

There is a repro manual in the passenger door of my brothers coupe. It was put in there back in 1970.

It looks well aged and you could easily mistake it for original.
