    This is possibly the best CDV album I have ever seen. The covers are polished wood, possibly beech, the front decorated with an American flag theme picture, and the rear with a really fancy monogram. It appears pretty well unused, it's empty, and it is the usual size for such albums. Late 19th C I'd say.

    I think this would sell far better in America than it will here.

    I bet you get decent three figures for that. I suspect some here would bite your hand off for it.

    I'm not sure if the AMC has a significance or it's just someone's initials, but either way that thing might bring the big bucks here.

    We have tea in our cupboard that I was going to throw out. I'll put it in the Giveavays forum if you'd like to have it. ;)

    Most of the tea on this side of the pond is in bags so you probably wouldn't want it anyways. :p:p:p:p

    That is one gorgeous album!!!

    Very old herbal teas and probably regular tea as well. I think all in teabags. It's been so long that I've looked at it, I don't remember for sure. :rolleyes:

    No one here drinks tea, and I think the boxes are all at least 10 years old. :eek:

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Beautiful album. I wonder whether the monogram on the back belonged to the original owner? And if so, why wasn't it used?

    Fig, I think the photos were removed previously. Looks like the pages have been used to me.

    Could be... there are some disturbances in the windows. I shouldn't have said they were not used. I think it is difficult to say from the photo.
