School-Girl Days Memory Book Reilly & Lee Blank Unused Antique Cream Cloth School Scrapbook
$29.99
This is School-Girl Days, a blank school memory book published by Reilly & Lee, bound in cream ribbed cloth with a dark blue ornate scroll frame, and every page is still unfilled.
The back cover is bent and there are stains on the front, the spine, and the inside cover, while the printed pages inside are unused and the blue and orange illustrations are clear, all shown in the photos.
Reilly & Lee of Chicago sold School-Girl Days from about the 1910s into the 1920s, and the exact year of this copy is not printed. Memory books like this were made for a girl to record her proms, dances, hops, stunts, jokes, spreads, entertainments, favorite studies, and classmates, and this one is still waiting for its first entry.
