Default Diamond Brand Score Book No. 1

I wanted to share a couple of gifts that my father gave me for Christmas (he found them at an estate sale in Kansas).

This is blank score book, Diamond Brand, with advertisements for their equipment and 12 pages of score cards inside. I do wish this had some scoring in it (with accompanying date), but my father and I always score games together at the ballpark (alternating top and bottom half of innings). As such, this was a great gift. There is a neat story on the inside cover ad that tells of Billy Sullivan catching three balls thrown off the Washington monument (using a Diamond mitt!) on August 24th, 1910. Other than that, I can't find a date on it anywhere, and a quick internet search turned up blank for me, so any information that anyone has on this (e.g., when it was made) would be appreciated.

See my other post for the table game he gave me.
