NEW!

6" x 5" celluloid covered autograph/postcard
album from the early 1900s! This album was never used and has 45 pages
that are all clean and not torn. Originally the album was either an autograph
album which were popular at the time or could have been used to hold postcards
or calling cards. The front only has a wonderful celluloid covered scene
of a Teddy Roosevelt white bear. He's wearing glasses, holding a picnic
basket and using a walking stick!! The scene is surrounded by embossing
and the background color on the front is a deep green. The lithograph scene
under the celluloid is signed by the artist in the lower right corner.
It says "copyright 1906 J. Davis." (The line you see on the signature is
on the lithograph print under the celluloid). The binding is tight. The
back and binding has the original blue velvet and the velvet is evenly
worn on the binding. Really fun and unusual item, great for the Roosevelt
collector too! |
