Sepia Scenes is hosted by Mary T, who also hosts the fabulous Ruby Tuesday.
For once, my photos come not from a vintage store but from my own ancestors.
The photos are in a small leather-bound book. There are (already sepia!) photos of my great grandfather as an infant and some photos of great-great grandfather in the military (Civil War).
The autograph book is a small red velvet book that was my maternal great-grandmother's.
A page from the autograph book:
Grandma Norma's watch, inscribed with her name. There's also a place for a photo, like a locket. It's made by the E. Howard Watch Co., Boston. I'm having a hard time getting a good photo of this.
Grandpa's watch. It still has the braided leather fob.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful treasures. Fantastic sepia post!
wow these are really great...i love the macro on the writing.
I wish I had a scanner so I could make more use of old family photos. Yours are marvelous and you did a wonderful job of showcasing them.
You have a gift for the sepia shots!
Is it weird that I love the penmanship in that autograph book?
What a treasure to have these! And the penmanship ... I want to write like that!
You've inspired me to take some photos of my grandfather's watch:)
You are very lucky to have these wonderful mementos of the past. Treasure them. I love looking at old photos, everyone always looks so prim, proper and serious. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your world.
