Newspapers prior to around 1880 were made of paper with rag fibers rather than wood fibers and as a result they are generally in better condition than 1890's and 20th Century newspapers.

Custom lots can be made up on request. The papers are all in generally good condition, all complete and readable - may have some margin chips, short edge tears, or minor spine repairs - a few may have small repairs with acid free conservators tape. All newspapers are guaranteed to be authentic.
