Statement.
Published 1888, Boston, Massachusetts by John P. Lovell Arms Co.
Hand written invoice and pictorial advertising envelope.

Item is over 140 years old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition.

Paper age worn, envelope roughly opened at edge as seen, slight rubbing, remains overall clean and attractive as a fragile survival.

Paper is lightly toned, signs of handling, small scattered spotting, internally still well preserved, tight, sound.

Still attractive on the shelf. The scarce item displays a pleasing and unique age patina and overall is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
