Checkbook Cover

chevssr · 02-12-2010, 03:26 PM

A while back someone on the forum was selling a leather checkbook cover with the SSR logo on it. Does anyone know if this is still available???

Me too, I'd like to see it. Must be Sandy at turnheads.

no not me. I did a search and couldn't find anything. Maybe I'll look into tooling and stitching one up and get back with a price.

UPDATE - fast forward to post #61 for the start of the pictures (first one I ever made), more pictures in post #77 (including interior). Price and description in post #82. The best pictures are in post #108 (more representative of what yours would look like), $75. Post #119 has a slightly different choice for $65

Jeez, gotta love a guy that has so much loot he needs to separate it into two wallets
so he doesn't throw his back out of alignment while cruising in his SSR!

or perhaps there is one wallet for U.S. $$$ and one for Canadian $$$

question about checkbooks - do U.S. checks slide into the holder from the end (a slot about 2+ inches long) or from the centre fold (so about 6 inches long)?

Hate to say this Sandy but I have two different banks and one of each type check book. I prefer the slot across the top fold though.

I maintain a number of checking accounts, Sandy, and believe most U.S. Banks offer both options.

Personally, I prefer the slot along the center fold (the checks tear along the top edge, NOT along the left edge).

by the way, when are you gonna have SSR Checkbook Covers available? CHOP . . . CHOP

What's a check??? With on-line bill pay and debit cards I can't remember the last time I wrote a check.

Ain't that the truth, Ron.

I probably average three or four checks a year now and that's mainly to pay for work around the house and to one of those rare shops that doesn't accept credit cards.

Same with me. Been paying all our bills or sending personal checks online for the last two or three years now. Just love it!

Rte66SSR · 02-21-2010, 05:23 PM

We still write checks, but mainly to our church--they don't have any other option--other than cash.

craftybeth · 02-21-2010, 05:27 PM

I'd like to see the check books first, but think I'd like one!

makes no difference to me if I make 5 or 50

but I think once you see what I have in mind, you might just go back to paper and pen

We are all patiently waiting, Sandy!

question for youz - what is the exact measurement of the chequebook that uses the long side for binding?
I have two and they both use the short end. They measure 6 & 11/16 inches by 2 & 3/4 inches.
I was hoping to make one cover that would accommodate both kinds but that would make the book unnecessarily long for some and too wide for others. That and I can't have the two slits meeting up, for the cardboard that slides in the backside.
Thanks

. . . and here's an answer for youz!

Checkbook: 6.5" L by 3.25" W

Checks (including binding at top) 6" L by 3" W

I sure hope this helps.
