Looking for Photo Albums

Sharon Leibel · Nov 12, 2018

Hi.
I am looking for these kind of old photo albums. The pages are heavy carton pages, With white paper cover.
I don't know if "PLUM" is the manufacturer, But it is what's on the album.

Maybe someone can point me to a way to get them in the US?

Thanks

Dunno, check eBay. Keep an auto search going. Sooner or later almost everything gets on eBay.

Thanks. The question is what brand is it. Tried "PLUM" on Google, but didn't get anything relevant.

They look like scrapbook albums rather than photo albums, though I have never seen any with a white interleave.

Yeah, But I actually remember these from childhood: Black, Thick carton pages, Thin/partially transparent white page over each black page, Etc.

Thank you! I appreciate it!!!

I was not even aware of that manufactuere before. (I never bothered much about albums, even at Photokina I only stopped at albums with extraordinary cover).
But that "echt Leder" sticker hinted at a manufacturer from/for a German speaking country...

D + F = Desmerais et Freres - went bankrupt in 2003 after 52 years in operation.

Ouch, yes, I can imagine that that was about the time when Photo albums became and endangered species.
