RARE VINTAGE PHOTO ALBUM 1800'S ALLIGATOR COVER NICE CONDITION

Description: SPECIAL NOTE - NO INTERNATIONAL BIDS ON THIS ITEM UNLESS YOU HAVE A U. S. ADDRESS CONFIRMED WITH] EBAY. I DON'T SHIP OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. - A very rare and fabulous estate find. 13 pages (heavy card board type, about 1/8" thick.) 77 photos, note the raised work on the pages around the pictures, very professionally done, this would have been expensive. The album is alligator or crocodile, probably alligator, nice developed mellow patina. Note the brass latch for closing the piece. The tiny piece of brass that the latch would attach to isn't there, the latch folds but won't fasten, I don't think this affects anything. There are only 3 spaces for pictures that are not filled. The piece weighs 4 pounds and measures 10 1/2" by 8" and is 2 1/4" thick. A one of a kind piece you won't find anywhere else. The piece is in good condition. A little loss on the cover at the edges, the very bottom at the binding is loose, about 1", some minor scuffs, very good condition for a piece this old. The first page which is an empty space has a tear at the very bottom of the slot where the picture would go. Minor, the piece is all there. Note the picture of the small child with a hat by the chair, the one with the family with 3 children, the bride and groom, the woman with the guitar and others. The group picture is from Bethel Seminary in Sweden and is dated 1898-1902. Also included are two cards, appear to be business cards found inside the album. It could be they did the photography. One is Beda Schonfeldt, Stockholm with her picture to the left and the other is a larger card with printing on both sides: on the one side is A. Wiklund Stockholm with a phone number and what appears to be an address. On the other side Is her picture with A. Wiklund and Stockholm underneath. This album is a wonderful antique and Piece of history. The album has never been on the market and was purchased from a private home. Please mouse over the pictures to your satisfaction and contact me if you have any questions or would like additional photos. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NO INTERNATIONAL BIDS ON THIS ITEM UNLESS YOU HAVE A U.
