This one is not full, but there are a number of pages in it I really love and would be inclined to extract and frame up--starting with the first page, which appears to be a list of license plate numbers, each framed with a bubble, I imagine recorded during a road trip to pass the time. (To me it reads like a conceptual contemporary art drawing.; also interesting for having been done in the fairly early day of plates, NY being the first state to adopt them, 1901.) Then some excellent little sketches of animals (including a great little "spidder"), some leaves, some flowers, some excellent lists of words ("mudguard, rattlesnake weed..."), some handwritten stories (Bruce and the Spider, King John, Robinhood and more, a few with some great little sketches along the bottom or top), and a page of handwritten music. A sweet thing. C. 1920s or so I believe.
8 1/4" x 6 5/8". 130 hand-numbered pages - many unused; photos show majority of filled pages. A center patch of toning/stain on just a couple of less interesting pages as shown, otherwise in good condition inside and out, no tears, paper not brittle.
