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 Lincoln stamp pasted on the page. Some pages have explanatory text or desriptions from articles in various publications or from stamp catalogs as well as on the reverse. There are nine blank pages at the end of the album. The first page of the album is labeled but there is no stamp attached. The slotted page at the end of the album has miscellaneous loose Lincoln stamps as well as some 19th century Lincoln stamps pasted to small tan-colored cards and labeled with the date and a catalog number.
