Here is a large scrapbook / photo album compiled by West Point Academy graduate Robert Ellsworth, who attended in the early half of the 1920s. It contains a large variety of items including photographs, newspaper articles, a signature ledger, the first edition of the Pointer (glued to a page), a couple of ticket stubs from the 1924 Paris Olympics, a ticket from a 1921 boxing match between Dempsey and Carpentier, programs from several Hundredth Night parties at the academy, a passport, a couple of invitations to General Macarthur's house (and a couple of pictures of the man as well), lots of pictures from 1920s Army Navy football games, and much more.
Many of the photos are original, but some are cut from other sources (probably magazines or newsletters from the era). Some of the photos can be removed and some are glued on. The tickets and programs and other paperwork is mostly glued on. Quite a few of the pages have come loose from the book, as they were originally tied in with string and over time the holes have torn to the edge of the pages.
I have taken 40 photos of the book and that does not even cover all the material. I can provide more pictures upon request. This is an amazing and unique piece of US Army history that I hope someone will preserve and appreciate.
