World War 1 Book? Howard P Savage Signature - National Commander of the American Leg

[gabriel101101]

I found a set of books ''source records of the great war volume 1-7. This book says it was made strictly for one person and i have seen other books of this type with other people signature. This book was made for Howard P. Savage who has his own wikipedia page and was in world war 1. These books were printed in 1923 and has official looking documents inside. Is Howard P. Savage's book worth anything?

Have never heard of such a thing. Looks fascinating!

They belonged to Private Harry Linwood Park, rather than to Howard Savage. While they may have been the 1923 edition, It would seem they must have been bound in 1926-27, since that's when Savage was the AL Commander. But as noted on the certificate they were all supposed to have come with this personalized paperwork, so I don't think it adds a whole lot.
They seem to be in very nice condition, so that's a plus.

You may want to contact the American Legion to see if they have a family contact who might like to have them. Perhaps a Great, Great, Grandson?
Cool find, Congrats

I found several sets on Abe Books starting at around 50$.... I'd imagine they would be an easy sell to someone with a WW1 interest.
