Offered here is a charming lot of two original 1930s girls’ grammar school autograph books from Little Falls, Minnesota. One book dates to 1932, the other to 1937, each filled with handwritten notes, poems, signatures, and sweet messages from classmates and teachers. A wonderful snapshot of small‑town Minnesota school life during the Depression era.
One of the books appears to be from the student’s fourth‑grade year, and includes a newspaper clipping tucked inside — a lovely period detail that adds to the historical interest.
These books are ideal for collectors of Minnesota history, genealogy, vintage school ephemera, and early‑20th‑century childhood memorabilia.
