Lost & found collectors items in Palm Beach County

Vintage stamp collection in red leather album

I found a vintage stamp collection this afternoon around 1:20pm. It was tucked inside a red leather album with a brass clasp, left on a bench near the entrance to the Antique Row on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, Palm Beach County. The album has a tiny brass compass keychain attached to the spine and a faded gold crest on the cover. Inside are stamps from the 1920s through the 1960s, mostly US commemoratives with a handful of UK issues; I counted about 80 stamps in neat mounted pages. On the inside cover there’s a handwritten note that reads 'For the Collector's Club, 1952.' I hope to get it back to its rightful owner.
