A Notebook with Handwritten Dedications - "Mishmeret Chadasha" Youth Movement, 1920

A notebook with 27 handwritten dedications, from members of "Mishmeret Chadasha" youth movement. [Pinsk? Kiev?], 1920.
A notebook which was, most probably, presented to the movement's member Michal (Michael) Ish Shalom, when he decided to move to Palestine. Among the dedications are poems, congratulations for success and several illustrations of the movement emblem, signed by the members. On the cover of the notebook appears a gilt title: "from the Histadrut, Mishmeret Chdasha, for remembrance, Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5680" (Hebrew).
We have no information about "Mishmeret Chadasha" youth movement, however it is known that at the early 1920s two Zionist groups under this name were active in Kiev and Pinsk.
29 written pages, approx. 10X15 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and tears (mostly slight ones, at margins). Detached cover.
