Veterans of Foreign Wars - U.S.S. Shenandoah. Seventh Annual Encampment at Lakewood, N.J., June 16-19 Inclusive, 1926.
Published 1926, Lakewood, New Jersey by Time and Journal Print. 
62 pages plus wrappers, saddle stitched. Text in English. Nice assortment of dated advertising as well. Rare souvenir booklet.

Scarce/ rare early 20th century American souvenir publication. Cover shows a dirigible air ship moored at the station in Lakewood, New Jersey, the site of the Hindenburg Disaster.

Binding remains sound but is well worn with staining, edge splits, rusty staples, cover and centerfold detached, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. 

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 periodicals of this era are somewhat scarce today as loose complete issues. Like most random survivals of old periodical printing, any specific example (like this one) 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.

Magazine remains attractive on the shelf. It displays a 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.
