About This Item
Publisher's green cloth with spine and upper board lettering gilt, octavo, pp. 155, [1]. Black and white illustrations. The old tissue-guarded calling card of a Penn Mutual agent is laid in near the center of the book. A two inch diagonal tear with no loss at bottom edge of title page, otherwise Very Good condition. The original glassine dust wrapper is here present, but it is tattered at spine ends and around the perimeter. We've managed to wrangle it fairly neatly into a sheet of protective (removable) mylar, however.
