Items are physically old and shows some very clear signs of handling and time.
Paper covers age worn, edges often chipped, several covers detached, short splits, paper well age toned as typical for newsprint and hence somewhat brittle, overall clean and attractive as uncommon ephemeral paper objects.
Still attractive on the shelf. The fragile pamphlets display a pleasing and unique age patina, the age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
