The Moving Picture Teddies is scarce and was distributed by a Chicago department store merchant. This rare item has various chips and edge splits, covers detached, pages loose, mostly complete, with 11 of the 12 original movable flaps (one of the flaps is detached).

Lot is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Lot is not new or in "new" condition.

Bindings gently age worn, mostly light or inoffensive signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, lot remains overall attractive as an object.

Paper is gently toned, still clean, tight, sound internally.

Lot displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail showing how this lot survives. The asking price reflects the condition based on our examination and 35+ years full time exposure to antiquarian books, maps and printed ephemera of all types and genres. Flaws seen and/ or described have been taken into account.
