This is an album I bought many years ago on ebay. It is very unusual in that whoever compiled the album was very artistic and has drawn various designs on many of the pages. Today that person would no doubt be a serious Creative Memories scrapbooker. It's an album of vacations and road trips. There is not a single name in the entire album, sad to say. I would guess the people were upper middle class given the trips were taken in the late 1920's and included a variety of locations and many photos.
The only clue is there is a piece of birchbark on which there is a heart and two sets of intials: F. K. B. and A.F. H. The birchbark is dated 5/11/1927 to 5/15/1927.
I do see a photo that says: "The Romantic Chandler - Oyster Bay Fame" so maybe Chandler is the last name of the woman in the photo.
The album cover is embossed with the title "Trips I Made". The last page has a drawing "To be continued."

EDITED: I don't know how I missed seeing this on the 1st page of this album: "Florence and Milly v.s. the B.Fs." So, it appears the women on the trips are Florence and Milly. Florence could be the F.K.B. initials on the birchbark.
