    $44.99

    This is The Campfire Girls' Duty Call by Helen Hart, an early 1900s girls' series hardcover with illustrations by Violet Moore Higgins.

    The boards show heavy rubbing, bumped corners, and a small split in the binding with the pages still attached, while the color cover picture is still bright, as the photos show.

    The Campfire Girls books follow a group of girls through friendship, responsibility, and service. In the pages shown, the girls visit Aunt Madge in New York, and Chapter II, Something of Mary Lee, tells how Mary Lee came into the Quinn family.

    Questions buyers ask

    Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

    Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

    I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

    I process your order within 1 business day, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
