Gift of Maynard, Robert E. and Angela J. II on behalf of Robert E. and Joyce A. Maynard Sr., 2023 March 08.
The original collector intended to complete scrapbooking work on all of these stickers and decals, but did not finish. We have left everything in its original order and housing, except for collecting loose stickers into an envelope, in order to preserve any meaningful order from the original collector.
