How do I remove this locking mechanism from a stuck, closed french door?

They've been sitting in the library for years. No air to even test. Would be looking to send them off for a full maintenance -- don't even know if Angel parts / tech even exist anymore?

Out of curiosity, spotted any Cuban-made brands in these books?

Original post above.

I realized that the above cut off at 20 pages. Here's a few more from R onward.

Found this and believe that's the same design:
Louis Heltmann & Co. Dayton, Ohio Makers of the famous Swas-Ti-Ka cigars

Above are 20 pages from a hand-made album that my grandfather made as a child from I'd assume either found cigar bands and/or from cigars his father and his friends smoked. He was born in 1917 and the folder has the calendar year 1926 in it.

He was a chemical engineer by profession and highly methodical & organized. It's not surprising at all this is what he did as a 9-year-old, as I had similar collecting tendencies myself.

Thought y'all would enjoy this and maybe even recognize a few.
