Geoff, your pics are next.
I'll explain a little bit first. My Great Grandfather, John Cervenka, was born in 1855 and died in 1938, just to give some context. The collection passed to his daughter, my Grandmother and her husband. Then down to my father and his brother, then to me via my mother. My Dad died in 1956 when I was one so my Mom is filling in what she knows. I think my father took most of the stamps out of the Lincoln album and put them in the Scott's International Postage Stamp Album - Junior Edition. But not quite all of them.
Attached is a picture of some of the albums. Some are empty, some have stamps in them, but the Scott's seems like the main album. There are shoe boxes and other containers with stamps in them too. It's not very well organized other than the Scott's.
I'm going to show some correspondence, John Cervenka, had with world wide stamp dealers because I find it interesting. We're spoiled by instant communication and much quicker shipping. There are more letters from dealers, but you get the idea.
John Cervenka emigrated from Czech Bohemia.
