Description: I have up for sale a wonderful and very interesting Huge Antique Scrapbook Album , actually its an old 1907 Spring and Summer Continental Tailoring Co - Chicago Book which measures 18" x 22" and weighs roughly 15 lbs - thats not a typo, which has a large variety of miscellaneous paper cutouts including some trade cards , die cuts of various sorts including calendars , magazine pages and covers, newspaper cut outs, etc. The items in the book date to approx the 1893 - which is the Horsfords Calendar diecut of a little boy on a sled to approx 1935 which is the last page in the book which has an Easter page cut out most likely from a magazine. There are approx 56 pages in all - all the items are glued on and can not be taken off or they will be damaged. Each page measures approx 16-3/4" x 21-1/2" so this gives you an idea of how large some of the diecuts are. I am not going to describe every page but here is a little run down of the most significant pieces in the book from my perspective. Page 1 features a large full page diecut with advertising from the Alfred Neubauer Hardware Store in Winneconne, Wis - Page 2 has a fantastic diecut calendar from 1908 for Grand Union Tea Co . - Page 4 features an advertising diecut from the M. A. Sarley Co General Merchandise - Split Rock , Wi - Page 10 has what I believe are cutouts from an old Platt Book for Winnebago County - Page 11 features a diecut calendar fro the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co - Page 12 has a wonderful large diecut for Fairbanks Morse for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition - Page 14 has a large Boy Scout Merit Badge cutout from , i believe the Milwaukee Journal. Page 20 has features a little girl on the world globe - Page 37 & 38 has homes for each month of 1933 - not sure where they came out of - Page 51 has a Fantastic Large Diecut with Advertising from the Union Star Cheese Factory - Fremont, Wisconsin Henry Metzeg Proprietor . The last page is a large cutout from Easter 1935. If you are truly interested in the book and need more pics please message me . I will package and ship fully insured. Due to the large size of the book I very well may have to special order a box unless I am lucky enough to find one in my storage . Some of you might consider this a high price but I look at it like this there are basically 56 pages - at $10 a page , that's not a bad deal . I didn't get it cheap myself as I purchased it years back at a local onsite auction and another collector find it nearly as interesting as I do. As stated some of these diecuts were trimmed or what have you . i do not believe that many of them could be safely removed but once its yours - you can do anything that you please.
