Please note that the binder itself measures approximately 9” x 11”. The binder is in vintage condition with heavier discoloration and wear. There is an old storage-type scent. I don’t know if it can be cleaned or refurbished. The letters inside are protected by sleeves. The letters may have additional discoloration, marks, creasing, folds and tearing from age, handling and storage. There is discoloration and marks to the sleeves. This collection of history needs to be safeguarded. Please see photos for more information on condition and ask any questions you may have. This would be a nice addition to any collection.
