{"product_id":"69151e-antique-the-whittier-birthday-book-embo","title":"Antique \"The Whittier Birthday Book\" | Embossed Cloth Hardcover Keepsake","description":"\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eThis charming antique copy of The Whittier Birthday Book is a beautiful piece of late 19th to early 20th-century publishing. Birthday books were highly popular Victorian-era keepsakes designed for owners to record the birthdates of friends and family alongside daily quotes from famous authors—in this case, the beloved American poet John Greenleaf Whittier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eThe cover features a beautifully stamped cloth binding with intricate geometric and floral patterns, framing a gilt circular vignette of a country home. It makes a wonderful addition to an antique library, a beautiful prop for a vintage desk display, or a unique gift. Before sending it off to a new home, it might be fun to flip to the entry for December 28th to see if the original owner recorded any fascinating historical names or notes there!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eGrade: Good \/ As-Is Antique Condition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eDetails: The book shows authentic, heavy age wear typical of a well-loved daily keepsake. The cloth cover is darkened\/faded from handling, and there is significant edge wear, including fraying and material loss at the corners and spine ends. It is highly likely the interior pages contain the original owner's handwritten ink notes and natural paper foxing (which book collectors often appreciate for its provenance).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eMeasurements (Estimated)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eHeight: Approx. 6.0 to 6.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eWidth: Approx. 4.5 to 5.0 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Locker61","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47347395166383,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/3150\/0719\/files\/2026-08-12-31U33suv-inbound2213354238072620695.jpg?v=1786546665","url":"https:\/\/locker61.com\/products\/69151e-antique-the-whittier-birthday-book-embo","provider":"Locker61","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
