Here we have an Antique School Book Issued by either St. Mary’s or All Saints School in Beaconsfield, UK, titled: “Cassell’s Book of Sports and Pastimes.”
Based on a combination of clues (Like Rat Portage instead of Kenoa written on the first page , and the believed printing date of the red ‘bucks’ books) that this book was issued to a student in 1883, 1993, or 1903.
“Cassell’s Book Of….” was originally published in 1883. It’s a large collection of descriptions and pictures detailing various sports, games, and physical activity. Seems to have been issued to a Frank Marshall from Ray Portage, Ontario, CA
Dimensions:
2L5oz
6.25”L x 2”W x 8.5”H
Book is average condition. Big rip on front right cover, as well as top left spine and some spine wear to follow. The binding still holds nicely, but has some pull in the first 20% of the book. Pages look quite nice, but have ripping on the first few only at the top
