13537Philadelphia: Sunshine Publishing Company 189-. Hardcover. Good or better. No author is given and most illustrations are unsigned no list is given in the book. I believe it was published in the very in the late 1900's as an incription inside suggest it was given in 1895. Oversize color illustrated covers general wear to cover edges top edge of front cover with partial loss of color illustration. The "Admission" page which precedes the title page has some finger soiling other pages lightly soiled one page with more text is unmarked. Gift inscription; "Christmas 95 / George Freeman Day / fro / Miss Brown." The in inscription is not from 1995 so the book was given and published around the year 1895. It appears another edition of this book was published same content/ around the same time with color illustrations the book cover shows Santa Claus in color. Profusely illustrated in b/w and duotone. <br/><br/>Questions welcome. Images can be made upon request. Sunshine Publishing Company hardcover
