Lovely paper items!
Love these old ledgers, this one is from a hardware store from the 1930's. It is always interesting to read the prices things cost back in those days. Twelve hours of carpenter labor to work on a bench was less than $15! One bundle of shingles only $1.25. There are two Boy Scout books that are scrapbooks with handwritten stories and clippings. The autograph book is from the late 1890's. Poor boy wrote in beautiful cursive-To My Friends, My album's open, come and see! What! Won't you waste a line on me? Write but a thought, a word or two, That my memory may revert to you. The only signatures he collected were from teachers, an aunt, and a cousin! Autograph book is SOLD! Boy Scout books are SOLD!
