More photos from my collection from auctions. This batch is all from the same lovely, soft, suede-covered photo album I actually neeeeeeeded, because its cover was this cool:

The leather is still in remarkably good condition for being nearly a century old, and having sat in a dusty corner for the most recent decade and change…

The slim thong holding them together is still complete and, save one small end of it, sturdy enough to retie it all, now that I've put the thing through the scanner.
The guts, not so good (10 pages of black card stock, several of which had segments torn out equalling roughly 10% of what would have been a full book, and a couple of pages/pix showed evidence of something having been spilled on them).
I think I paid a whole three dollars for the thing, with all the snapshots – and one postcard – inside it.
I'd have willingly paid more, if there had been any real competition, that day.
Anyway, here's the raw material for your next storyline:

FTR, I really like those pants. Look closely, and you can see the fringe down the side seams, and the print of a fancy Sioux feather headdress, over each knee...

| the postcard: Club House Cottages, Chain-o-Lakes, Baldwin, Mich. |
I lifted the corner of this postcard, & saw it was addressed to someone with the last name of Tilton, in Washington, Illinois. The rest of what's on the back of the card is well and truly glued to the page, and so will remain a mystery...
