Lot x 3 Coastal Maine Vacation Brochures.
Published c. 1920-30's, United States.
Lot of 3 folding brochures. Text in English. Nice assortment of images throughout, including a map of the Casco Bay islands, Maine.

Nice early 20th century lot of three uncommon tourist items with pleasing visual content.

Bindings remain clean, tight, and sound, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. Overall a nice looking example.

Small age flaws or defects include possible random old creasing, edge chipping, small light old staining, etc. Overall entirely acceptable example of what is likely a scarce survival. The pictures give a very good sense of how the item survives.

Virtually all paper bound items of this era are somewhat scarce today as well preserved examples. Like most random survivals of old printing, any specific example (like this lot) is likely among a relative handful still extant. As each decade goes back from 1950, the rate of scarcity for any specific magazine or paper item increases noticeably.

Text block remains overall clean, and displays a pleasing age patina.

Remains attractive on the shelf. It displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique item survives. This item is not new- it is old and has been handled by different owners in the past.
