<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 408618, member: 201&quot;]My mother, a textile designer, put together a number of scrapbooks in the 30s and 40s with examples of different types of designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the scrapbooks contains mostly samples of wallpaper, with a smattering of ads and other clips from magazines. There are at least 50 standard-sized 3-ring binder sheets, with items pasted on both sides. So I think there are likely a couple hundred wallpaper samples. The&#039;re mostly florals, some pastel and some colorful.</p><p><br /></p><p>After doing a little sleuthing, I think this scrapbook is from the 1940s based on a few perfume and home furnishing ads plus images of what I think are typical 1940s rayon dress fabrics. I&#039;ll include some pages below.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know people buy vintage wallpaper rolls and commercial wallpaper sample books on eBay. But do you think this scrapbook would be of interest? The samples aren&#039;t very large and they&#039;re pasted in, so they can&#039;t really be used other than for reference or to scan. Maybe a designer might be interested?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you were listing it, would you sell all the pages together or split them into two or more separate listings? What kind of price would you put on it?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]142291[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142292[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142293[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142294[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142295[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
