This old photo album is in decent condition for it's age, but many of the pages are not full and some are missing pictures from them. The book itself is in good condition. It measures 12.5" wide, and 9.5" tall. Many of the pictures are the type that was also a postcard. Some were taken by Barnetts Studio on Montgomery Ave in Montgomery Alabama. The earliest I can tell, the last two pictures in the book are marked 1926 on the wagon in the pictures. A couple more are marked 1930 on the back. Most are not marked at all, although there are some that are marked "Williamson's Photo Shop in Demorolis, Al. Others were taken by Stanley Paulger at The Camera Shop in Montgomery.
There are a few more pictures from a paper, or church Bulletin of John C. Coggin, pastor, Rev. Lee Gallman, Rev Cornelius DeBlock and an article from 1943 about McCoy Bynum who was from Montgomery, a Chaplin who was wounded during the war. Also a picture of the Second Baptist Church.
There are two men who are military with the names Melvin and Joe, and two of the children in a couple of pictures are identified as Joey and Betsy on the back of the pictures.
Most of the pictures are held in place by corner tabs, although some are glued in. It has 18 pages, some of which are blank. The covers are in good condition and are not peeling or tearing or loose at all. The insides have black paper that is tight and secure. There are some spots and age marks on the cover, see photo.
This book was in a trunk with many items from a family named Rossiter, who were apparently very prominent in Montgomery back then. I have other scrapbooks and memorabilia from some of them as well.
