This rare catalogue is physically old and shows some clear extensive signs of old dampness, handling and time. Book is not new or in "new" condition.

Binding well age worn, extensive damp staining to text block, final leaves with some visible extensive small spotting, this rare early auto catalogue remains overall attractive as an object.

Still tight, sound internally.

Still attractive on the shelf. The catalogue displays a pleasing and unique age patina, the age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive in the context of rarity. 

Please review photos for more detail showing how this book 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.
