Is this a valuable album- is it rare and is the date 1934
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
DeleteThe album appears on eBay about once or twice a year. I don't think it's all that valuable, complete in good condition it might fetch £10-£20. I believe it is a 1934 issue.

I have the brilliant bird-men album. Are they worth anything
