There probably wasn’t much in the way of online shopping in 1904, so it’s a good thing the Paris Fair had everything you would want to put under the tree.

Celluloid in 1904?
Had to look it up. Celluloid was invented as Parkesine in 1856 and Xylonite in 1869, then registered as Celluloid in 1870.

Sounds like the Autograph Albums would have been a blend of a socialite’s calling card and a high school yearbook.

Look at the price of all those dolls……I would love to have a whole bunch of them. I do have my grandma’s German bisque 24 inch "China". She is absolutely gorgeous sitting in her original stroller. Grandma got her in 1890 when she was 5 years old…..One of my biggest treasures.
