  • Refund will be given as: Money Back
  • Condition: Complete issue of 16 pages. The paper was made with rag content at the time so the paper is very sturdy and durable. The issue was previously bound keeping the pages within clean and safe for over 150 years. There is only a little foxing. Light smudging is confined to the edges. The centerfold was tipped in so there is no damage to the center seam. However, as seen in the photos, there is some dirt along the center seam of the centerfold as well as throughout the issue. Overall the issue is in very good condition. The issue is stored in a clear, acid-free plastic sleeve with one end open.
