[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 63713, member: 59"]Found this souvenir "for sale only enroute on the trains on the Shasta Route" at a yard sale this morning for which the ad featured "French antiques, Mission furniture and Pottery." :rolleyes: Goes to show you never know! I got it to go with the collection of post cards (1903 - 1910) that my GG grandmother sent or brought back from her 2 cross-country trips (Brooklyn to Seattle and everywhere in between.) Given what some of the postcards say it is quite likely that she took this route on at least one of those trips. The art work of the illustrations is very much like that of some of the postcards. A little normal wear from reading - the worst of which is a small chunk out of the title page at the bottom. All the full color illustrations are there. Research suggests this particular edition (they apparently made many different ones over the years) is from about 1915. Asking prices (eBay, Amazon and Etsy) online seem to range from about $35 to about $50 for this one. I didn't bother to see what it has sold for since I intend to keep it. ;) Here's a sampling of what's inside.
