Publisher's pictorial paper wrappers, two with original three hole spine punches for inserting into a notebook. Each booklet is "restricted"/ confidential. All appear to be uncommon.
Lot is old and shows some signs of handling and time. Lot is not new or in "new" condition.
Paper gently age worn, slight rubbing, lot remains 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.
Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this offering survives.
