    Antique Cigar Band Album-w/Lot of Old Cigar Bands-Antique Scrapbook-Collectible Tobacciana-For Restoration Craft Project-Antique NY Book
    What a beautiful treasure trove this antique Cigar Band Album is-even in it's fragile state!
    This could be the restoration project you have been looking for!
    On inner back cover it is handwritten in ink: New York May 29th 08 with the intials ER-that's the year 1908 if you were wondering!
    When you first open the album there are stamps glued to the inner cover-not postage stamps but old stamps depicting places in Peekskill, NY.
    There are a few cigar bands placed in the slots on a few pages randomly and then a whole lot/collection of cigar bands that were never placed....
    For some unknown reason, this person never completed the album, but had all intentions to do so!
