Dear Rollin,
Thank you for your help and patience.
The presented object appears to be a yearbook or guestbook including two drawings by the artist Franz Kline. The drawing depicts small sketches and greetings and is signed and dated 1927. Small drawings and poems were collected in such books until the WWII.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 350 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Gregory
The Yearbook contains his signature next to his photo, and the autograph book contains two pages of drawings: One of a hockey player, and another page of several sketches of local fellas from school (at least one of them is also in the yearbook) , a car driving through lehighton, candlestick, and very decorative signature.
