Description

One of five stamp collector's albums holding cardboard stock pages printed on one side with a light green grid and bound in a darker green leather cover with gilt trim and gilt edges on pages. Transparent sheets are interleaved with the printed pages. Most leaves have a typed title at the top giving the year and the type of stamp pasted on. Some pages have explanatory text from articles in various publications. In general the leaves have stamps, stamp blocks, first day covers, and/or souvenir sheets attached with dates ranging from early 20th century through 1965. Also included in the album are various tax stamps from 1866 through the tobacco series of 1898 and stock transfer stamps from the early 20th century.
