Update Victorian 1800s Antique Autograph Album Paid $2~Sold $39

I went to an auction last week and I paid $2 for this little gem. I just sold this last night for $39. Very exciting! This is such a lovely piece of Victorian history full of sentiments of love, friendship, signatures and poems with quill pens and ink, given to Minnie by her cousin May to obtain signatures and memories from her classmates before she wed in Groveport Ohio. Beautiful penmanship and a truely fasinating read. Beautiful Victorian flower decals on most pages and it looks like most of the signatures were taken around 1883-1886. Such sweet quotes like "May your life have just enought clouds to make a beautiful sunset" by Ella from Groveport, OH "Remember me and bare in mind a truthful friend is hard to find and if you find one good and true cling to them that cling to you: by Anna from Edwards, OH. This is a one of a kind piece of history truly sought after by collectors. I will let you know the outcome of this one!
