Does Anyone Collect Actual Stamp Albums Minus Stamps?

Does anyone collect actual stamp albums minus stamps?
Kind of weird I guess...I have a 1937 KA-BE album in German..lol
Is it off to the recycle or some value?

Is it a KA-BE single country Album?

I actually do collect them if I come across them. They look splendid in an old bookcase!

I have a couple of US plate block albums. The Scott specialized is in the best shape (and one I may use in the future).

I

Oops..It is a 4 album set .2 europe and 2 "ubersee"

Like jubilee , when I come across them. I have a few

1951 Scott American a one sided US album, has National style pages.
1962 Scott Pathfinder a two sided US album has National style pages
1934 Harris Round the World 2 sided WW album
1919 Scott Imperial WW 2 sided album
The American is a very comprehensive album and includes most revenue pages, the other three are entry level albums.The American and Pathfinder have never had stamps mounted,the other two have a few stamps.

I don't collect old albums as such. But as I have removed the stamps from some old inherited 1940's albums, I have kept some of the pages out of curiosity. These are British albums, and maybe its an old colonial attitude, or maybe its just the racism and anglo-centricity typical of the era, but some of the country descriptions are so alien to our modern ears.
Here's an example (country name omitted for reasons of World Harmony!)
"------ was once the home of a formidible race of warriors of the ---- tribe, whose hostility to the British was not finally crushed until 1879 at ------. Now this territory is a peacable farm-raising area."
Translated for the modern reader - "We took their land, divided it up amongst us, and now they work for us".
History really is written by the victors....

Very nicely and diplomatically worded Stampgal!

Ah Yes EMPIRE...
Wasn't it grand !..

Welcome to the 'New World Order'... colonialism on a global scale by the banksters.

Aaahhhh, revisionist history. I find it interesting that most former colonies refer to their old "masters" as the "mother" country. It wasn't all bad you know!

Yes, it provided James Bond with some colorful locations, particularly Connery in Dr. No and Thunderball, and gave Ian Fleming a good retreat from which to write the books.

back to the original question which was whether people collected old albums. Two response:

1. Having been a collector and trader for many years I can say without hesitation that EVERYTHING is collected by someone, somewhere.

2. Following on (1) above.......I have a Canada album titled "CANADA FIRST STAMP ALBUM." It was published by R. Stokes - stamp dealers and book stores - of Toronto around 1935. The possibility that this was in fact the first Canada album is why I've hung onto it. Thoughts?

1935 seems way too late for the first Canada album. I'd be shocked if there weren't 19th-century albums.

I'd suspect more along the lines of "My First Album" or even "Canada First" (but I have no idea...).
