This is a large scrapbook measuring 10.75 by 15 inches. I purchased it and one other at my local flea market, so I have no info regarding its origin. This listing is for the one scrapbook you see in my photo. I'll just have to state the types of items that I see inside.

It appears that the locations most mentioned are around the area of Clarinda Iowa, Omaha Nebraska and Oakland California.

There are many loose newspaper articles that were not attached on to pages. There are military announcements, wedding announcements, news of the day articles, postcards, and other types of items.

Items that are attached to pages were done so using glue.

For the Clarinda items, there are quite a few dated 1944 and many about WWII. Many are 'people" articles.
For the Omaha Nebraska items, there are 'news of the day" articles about people and there are articles about a flood they were hit with in 1943.

For the Oakland California items, there are various articles that mostly date between 1952 to 1954.

The postcards seem to be mainly from Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, and California. There are also quite a few from the Clarinda and Omaha areas. The postcards were glued to the pages.

Several pages in the back have magazine cut out pictures of movie stars from the time frame. The middle section of the scrapbook is empty and I assume that's where the many newspaper articles must have been inserted.

All in all, the scrapbook is a great time capsule about life in the mid states during a time of war.

Due to postal rules, scrapbooks cannot be mailed via USPS Media Mail, delivery will be via USPS Priority Mail.

That being said, buyer to pay $10.95 Priority Mail delivery charges. Delivery is from Arizona.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.

I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.

INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.

All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
