Was given this old Scott album the other day

It's in surprisingly good shape for a 1930's publication, with no torn pages or markings. Although I don't collect foreign stamps, I think I'll keep it just for nostalgia's sake. Since it's the junior edition, I'm assuming at that time there was a much more comprehensive Scott world album available at that time?

    Images must be 2MB in size or lower to post in this forum. Probably the issue.

    Mark, very common album but it does appear from your images to be in decent shape. What is present in the album is where the metal meets the meat so to speak. In other words...what's in it?

    Greg, the album is sparsely populated with a few hundred of the most common stamps, so not a whole lot of "metal" present.

    Ive inherited one of those also, they are fun to have, from a bygone era. It's fun to just see how things were presented in the 1930's. Keep it as a family souvenir.

    That is correct. The Scott International (Brown) Albums (named "Brown" because the album cover was brown) were what were to become the Scott Specialty Albums. The Blue Scott International Junior Albums became the Scott International Albums.

    You hit it on the head.
    The Junior albums are around a lot. The Browns not so much but were nice albums and sometimes more involved then the current specialty albums. I have handled at least 2 sets of browns through the years and they were very impressive.

    The original Browns are offered quite often on ebay. Many offered are in pretty good shape. You can still get the browns through Subway printed single sided, and paper sized either for Scott Specialty, or Scott International. The current Scott International Part 1 is woefully abridged. The Browns for 1840 through 1940 will be much better.
