Vintage Coloring Book. From the pictures of the autos, I'm guessing this coloring book is from the 1940's. Cover still has beautiful color. Cover also has a number at the bottom: 193.This could almost be a simple image reference for modes of transportation in that period.Fair condition. Front cover has corner creases and some edge/corner wear. Paper is age tanned. I did also note a couple of small (1-2 inches or less) closed tears. Most pages have multiple pictures to color on each page, but probably 75% of them have been colored or scribbled. I counted 110 pictures with no crayon marks on them. Please see photos.64 pages including the title page. This book is a larger than normal (tall & wide) book.
