I am sure that someone in the AW community can tell me if this is worth my time to sell.
I have an old "Savings Stamp Folder". It was issued by the Elwood State Bank (which is no longer in business, unless it's under another name) in Elwood, IN (a small town). It was a book that people could collect stamps worth 1c, 5c, or 10c. Once the book had $1.00 or more in stamps, you could get that amount in cash put into your regular pass book account. This book has 10 of the 'stamps' still glued in and about 45 'stamps' that are loose. On the front cover, it is written "Received 12-15-23." It is punched out "PAID 12-17-23." It is in fair condition. It was found outside a window of an old school that is no longer standing. It was wet from dew when found. There are creases and wear.
Is there any other info that would help?
I have pictures hosted at AW, but don't know how to post them here?
Thanks in advance!
edited to add: This has been in my possession for approximately 12 years.
edited again to add: I have searched both current and completed auctions on ebay and have found nothing like this.

The only way I have any luck with things like this are at the local area. Someone in that town probably would give 5 bucks for it, but nobody else. I have also gathered things together, such as "banking collection", 10 or 15 pieces, and might get 10 bucks. good luck.
