Most of the contents are from the 1920s, but there are letters from her father from as far back as 1908. She apparently liked high school football and not just Hackensack games. There are more pictures with the auction.
Here's the seller's description:
Up for auction is: A vintage girls' scrapbook circa 1920's in the Hackensack New Jersey area. Her name was Natalie Agusta Pratt and she collected some early letters (2 from her father dated 1908 & 1912), photos, an envelope with her baby hair, The Buzzer 1927 Hackensack High School newsletter and a host of other memorabilia in her life.
Also in this scrapbook are newsletter from the church dated 1929, a snapper from a party, 1925 junior admission tag for RHS football, a 1924 hand drawn football postcard, Piano Recital at the school leaflet 1925, a Mary Pickford of Haddon Hall pamplet (which she notes is the first movie she ever saw in New York.), crushed flower...plus more letters & photos with some documentation beneath. She had all this stored within 10 pages (counting front & back) within this vintage scrapbook.
The rest of the pages are blank about 28 pages more (so you can add your own scrap memorabilia). An separate envelope of small photos and newspaper clippings is also in the back.
Very interesting to read and collect. Condition: Papers are yellowed as would be expected of paper 80+ years old. But they have held up well. Front hard cover of the scrap book has a tear in the fabric at the front edge & some spots. Cracks/splits in the hinges but still secure. Lots of photos of the contents.
