General Philatelic/Gen. Discussion : Help with my old album

I've used the old Scott Brown International Albums for about sixty years. My concern is with 20th Cent. vol 1, 1901-1920. It's falling apart. The pages are good, but the binding is not. The albums have little room for expansion and this album bulges out maybe half again its normal size. Transferring the stamps into a new album would be an overwhelming task.

Have any of you ever had an album professionally rebound? I'm considering that, though I will have to find someone I can trust. I could not replace this album's contents; even some individual stamps are beyond my current resources. I'm retired and living on a mostly fixed income. Not poor, but not wealthy either.

Suggestions?

re: Help with my old album

My Minkus Master Global, and Supreme Global albums
are almost as bad. Most seem to have been from the
early 1950s. My solution will be converting the pages
to three hole pages for some decent three ring binders.
I am tired struggling with the cross bar and side pin
system when I want to add some pages.
Good luck with the rebinding if you find someone to do
the job.

If you have the album rebound will it still have half again the number of pages it should have ? I have learned that my Scott International binders start to rebel when they get too fat...like one of my Moms favorite expressions "the straw that broke the camels back."

I think the album (Scott International Brown Edition, 1901-1920) should be split in two and the pages interleaved to make it manageable. The problem with my old album - other than age - is that as it filled the expansion put stress on the binding.
