Lot is over 100 years old and shows some signs of handling and time. Lot is not new or in "new" condition.
Paper gently age worn, slight rubbing, Sport brochure has an early hand written message on the final leaf, both remain overall clean and attractive as a inherently fragile survival.
Paper is lightly toned, normal signs of handling, perhaps small scattered spotting, internally still well preserved and sound.
Still attractive. The scarce ephemeral paper lot displays a pleasing and unique age patina and overall is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.Â
