This the neat pile.
I have been through it extensively twice to see exactly what is here. There are at least two albums of old photos missing, according to my memory. I spoke with my brother and he also remembers the same photos in the missing albums. It is a mystery. They are the snapshot photos of both he and I and our twin sisters in the years between 1936 - 1942.
So far, according to my perceived needs, I have ordered three blank vintage albums from e-Bay and new black mounting corners. One of the albums has arrived and there were two packets of white mounting corners inside. That was a surprise. Some of the pictures in the old albums are mounted in white corners, but most are either pasted! glued! or mounted in black corners that have come loose.
I ordered 9 packets of black corners, each containing 252. (2268 corners will hold around 567 photos.) I think I'll have enough corners.
So far I have spent only $104.06 including shipping and handling charges. ($49.14 corners) ($54.92 blank vintage photo albums, two brand new). I sure hope that will be all!

The other two albums arrived today. One was brand new and there was a packet of black mounting corners in it. The date on the packet was 1952.
Now I should get down to business!
neat old-time project. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember those corners on some old photo albums.
ReplyDeleteI have one album in particular that's about as old as your photo album with pictures of my grandparents and parents when they were young. I hope to make copies for my two sisters as well as myself, just not right now.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I did this kind of project years ago...then, as my father aged, he messed up all our work. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a project going on....and I envy you [at the same time know the long hours ahead]. Oh, and loved the work you did on the portrait below, the the previous post.
