I purchased this scrapbook at an auction circa 2017. It was evidently put up for auction by the lone descendant of the person who created the scrapbook, June Leavitt. June spent her early life in Denver before moving to California as a young teen. She graduated from junior high in 1930, so she was probably around 14-18 years old when she curated these items, although it appears she also stuck in a few of her 1920s childhood papers.
If you're interested in the 1920s & 1930s, southern California history, or both -- check this out!
You can see the cover has taken on some water damage over the years. Partly for that reason, I did end up opening this scrapbook and saving what could be saved.
If it couldn't be saved, I just took photos...
