C. '30s-'40s "Our Grandchildren" Photo Album: Unused

Collectibles : Paper : Vintage Scrapbook : From St. Augustine Alligator Farm : Florida Travel Memorabilia

 

St. Augustine's Alligator Farm, rightfully called a zoological park nowadays, was established 111 years ago, in 1883.

This interesting and kitschy slice of its history is an untouched photo album measuring 10 5/8" x 7 1/8". The cover, which appears to be handpainted, features Grandma, Grandpa, and the two kids. As is the case with most such old albums, it is tied together at the side with a ribbon.

Front and back covers greatly resemble leather, but they are evidently very heavy-duty cardboard. There are 25 pristine black paper sheets inside to be used for photos or as a scrapbook. Basically in excellent vintage condition, with the only real signs of wear being a bit of scuffing on the front cover.
