Album of 873 Labels of Canadian Companies c. 1920s-1950s.
Created in Canada. Various. nd. 1920s-1950s. Leather and cloth over boards.
Hardcover 1/4 leather (purple) over cloth (grey) over boards. A collector's album with 31 numbered cardstock leaves originally meant to collect greetings cards from the "Imperial City" series, but instead has been repurposed to hold 873 separate labels from predominately Canadian companies. Dates range roughly between the 1920s-1950s, with a few earlier and later outliers. The labels cover a wide range of products, but the majority come from alcohol and beverages, candy, spices and food, and household sundries. Most of the labels are glued into the album with a few stapled in. The glue has held for the most part, with a couple labels starting to come loose. The last five pages contain several excised pages from an unknown source depicting Canadian military regiments. General condition of the labels runs from fair to very good; these labels were cut out, assembled, and displayed with care. There has been some bleed through from the glue on some of the leaves. The album itself is in fair condition - the cardstock pages are bound tight but the boards are considerably worn.
