Item Description:
Offered for your consideration is a wonderful piece of local New Hampshire school history: a vintage autograph and memory book filled with handwritten entries, rhymes, and original illustrations dated May 1940.
This charming pocket-sized album features an embossed black cover tied with its original yellow cord. Inside, classmates and friends from Chester Grammar School (Chester, NH) left personalized inscriptions, humorous notes, and charming hand-drawn illustrations (including a whimsical sketch of a nosey character with a bug on his nose). Notable local signatures and inscriptions include entries from Annette Marjorie Nichols, Ruth Edwards of Chester, NH, Emily W. Philbrook, Mary Mitchell, and others.
Condition:
Good vintage condition overall. The cover shows light edge wear, and the interior pages exhibit standard age-toning and handling marks appropriate for a school keepsake book from 1940. All handwritten entries and drawings are clear and legible. Please review all photos for a closer look at the exact pages and packed and shipped via USPS Ground Advantage or Media Mail. Combined shipping is available for multiple purchases.
