Vintage stamp album for sale at eBay

A vintage 9 3/4" x 7" early postage stamp album in fair to good condition. The album itself shows wear and age but the stamps inside are very good. Some are postmarked while others are not. Hundreds of stamps in this album which was started by a young lady who collected throughout her life. She apparently added her own pages to this album and wrote the names of the countries across the tops of those added pages. The stamps are attached to their pages with proper tabs and can be easily removed. The last photo is of loose stamps that fell out of this album while being photographed. See photos for details. You get everything you see in the photos. Mine is a tobacco smoke free home. Please contact me through eBay with any questions. The link for the eBay listing is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231170688993&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

WFMJ Roy Rogers Riders Club and Post Cereal


What little boy didn't want to be Roy Rogers in the 1940s and 1950s? Nowadays, you'd better read the cereal labels to see what you're eating. Most of that stuff still isn't good for you but the marketing, back then, was fabulous!

Leroy T. Hills


"Nor shall their story be forgot, while fame her record keeps."

This free-hand drawing on a scrap of paper, commemorating Leroy T. Hills, was found among some old papers. It appears to have had a photo in the center of the medal but I did not find it. I still have more papers to go through and hopefully we will find out what Leroy looked like.




Possibly Mary Cadwell Hills

Possibly Gertrude Hills Shaffer

Uncle Charles?


This young fellow is wearing a uniform but I'm not sure what it is. The cabinet photo is marked what appears to be 'Uncle Charles' in pencil at the bottom on the front. Can anyone read the handwriting and verify his name is Charles for me? Handsome lad.
