Antique 1872-1894 Repurposed 1856 Patent Report Turned Scrapbook Complete Full For Sale

This is an antique repurposed book turned scrapbook from the late 1800s. There are many hundred pages here and all are pasted on and complete. The articles start in 1872 and go through what appeared to be 1894 at the end of the book. There do appear to be some removed pages but they appear to have been removed in period. The book also held some of the loose paper ephemera from both that time period (a song or poem) and two other items from potentially later in the book’s history. Please see photos for condition and further details. The book is sold as is and i had no problems reading it page by page however there are some loose bindings in the front of the book.
