  • Condition: Keeping in mind they are 82 year old newspapers, I would assess them as fair to poor condition. They are very fragile with tears along the seam where the paper folds and on paper edges. There is yellowing and a few stains, with frayed and folded edges. All intact and perfectly readable though.
