I found this great-looking scrapbook on ebay. It's unused and the front is embossed leather (or maybe just compressed paper?) and features representations of all branches of the service. It's titled "Uncle Sam at The Helm." I love these old WWII scrapbooks! I think I will use this one to make a tribute to family members who served in WWII. It came with a 12" x !6" certificate, also unused, that is too big for my scanner , but something I've wanted for a long time as I can fill it out with Dad's Navy info.
I will be sharing pics soon of another WWII scrapbook I received today in the mail. It is for a USMC veteran and also great-looking if you are like me and enjoy things that have that "been there" appearance.
