VERY RARE The 78 page BSA booklet is dated 1925 Boy Scouts of America 200 Fifth Avenue New York City author Charles F. Smith. The other inserts do not say Lefax but do say Copyrighted 1922-1925 The Slingerland-Comstock Co. Printed in U.S.A. There is the name Herbert J. Waters, Jr. on the cover, assume this was the owner. There is a lined page that says Santa Rosa Merit Badges which lists numbers of badges and also Summer Camp attendance for 1928 and 1929. I assume this belonged to a Santa Rosa California Boy Scout leader. Nothing else to identify previous owners. CONDITION: Leather cover shows some wear, gold colored type and emblem on the cover have wear but it is minimal, inside pages have some browning but they are not brittle, you can easily look through all the pages without any fear of damaging them. There is some staining on the inside front and back covers, does not seem to be anything active. See pictures of the actual item you will receive and email me with any questions. Our antique and vintage items are fabulous, however not all are flawless. Certain items may show signs of wear and patina due to their age. Some have been used lovingly. While we hope to describe each piece accurately, please contact us with any questions about any items before purchasing.
