Hardcover stamp album, 9 x 11, entitled “Modern Postage Stamp Album”, with various stamps affixed to inside pages, signed at the bottom of the first page, “Lee Oswald, Oct. 23, 1954.” Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Oswald’s brother, Robert L. Oswald. In part: “My older brother John Pic was into stamp collecting. On my ninth birthday my mother gave me this stamp album…when I was in the Marines stationed in Korea, at about the time of his 15th birthday on October 18th, possibly for a birthday present, my brother Lee wrote me asking permission to take over my stamp album…The next time I saw the stamp album was in the summer of 1956 when Mother and Lee moved…Lee had written on the bottom of the first page an ownership inscription…I would think to show it was now his stamp album. I noticed that there were more stamps on the pages then were there when I had left for the Marines…The stamp collection which Lee had taken over was included in my things.” Letter also bears a single postage stamp from Oswald’s collection. Fraying and wear to loose spine and binding, almost total separation of front cover, soiling to back cover, and pencil notations to signed page and inside front cover, otherwise very good condition.
