1,277 Postcard Album 1906-1960s Lifetime Estate Collection Antique & Vintage Lot

Description: This collection belonged to Irene Heffner of Albany, NY as far as I can tell, and it came from the estate of her late son. The earliest cards I found were from 1906 and the latest cards were from the early 60s. Due to the delicate nature of the pages and cards, I have tried to handle as few as possible in order to keep the album as close to the condition it was found in as possible. I have not removed any cards, but over the 110 double sided pages, there are 43 vacant slots. Many of the earliest cards I inspected had missing or damaged stamps. There are both used and unused postcards in this album, but the majority I pulled were written on. The addressees are not all the same, and it looks like some cards were collected from friends and relatives. The majority of the cards over the entire date range were sent to Albany, NY. I noticed a handful of foreign countries, but the vast majority are from the United States. The cards span the entire US, but I would say there is a larger number of East Coast, and particularly New York cards in the lot. I don't know when the album was actually assembled, but there seems to be a loose chronological order to it. This item has dirt and wear from handling and storage. Album pages and cards may be torn or creased and have general wear commensurate with age. The covers are rough, but it is best not to judge the book by them. This is the best postcard album I have found yet, and I hope it will find a new conservator to enjoy it as much as I have. This listing is for the item pictured and does not include anything additional not shown in the pictures. This item is sold as is so please review the pictures above and feel free to ask any questions prior to purchase. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
