Eleanor on Paxton in 1921

I have in my possession an eighty+ year old volume of L. Frank Baum's The Lost Princess of Oz.

A preprinted bookplate's inscription reads,
"This book
belongs to
Eleanor Mars
7710 Paxton Ave.
From Mother
Xmas 1921"

Sorry, but I have no idea what city Paxton Ave. is in.

I have researched it and this book doesn't appear to have much value in collector's circles as it was very well loved and quite worn, but it is intact and readable. I would be very happy to return it to Eleanor's family if they'd be interested in its sentimental value. It would be a sweet Christmas gift.

I will respond to the first family member whose post here expresses an interest. If unclaimed, I will keep this book for at least one year and probably longer, so if this message seems too old to be worthy of a response, reconsider and give it a try anyway. I will ship at no cost to you via basic U.S. Mail.
