Abstract
Abstract A photo album page of the type including a laminated base having means for engaging on each side thereof a photograph supporting frame element. The mounting edge of the page is provided with hinged means formed by a pair of tape strips which engage the base along one side thereof, and an extruded hollow channel forming member along a second side thereof. A relatively stiff wire engages the channel forming member to be frictionally retained therein, the free edges of the wire projecting from the channel to selectively engage a known binding.
