  • Condition: As a group, condition on this batch is fair to good. They have been around over 100 years and they show it. Age darkening, some foxing and staining on the paper, the envelopes are pretty rough. Some of the letters are in pencil, so while they are legible, they take some work to read. Also note. . .these were stored in the home of a smoker for many years. They do have a slight odor of tobacco smoke to them, it's not real bad, but if you are sensitive to that sort of thing maybe you pass on this lot. Please examine the photos carefully for yourself.
  • Time Period Manufactured: 1900-49

    Description

    FOR SALE, THIS LOT OF 10 LETTERS, FIVE WITH ENVELOPES, ALL DATED 1904 AND ALL ADDRESSED TO THE SAME PERSON WHO LIVED IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS. THIS IS JUST EVERYDAY CORRESPONDENCE, LIKE THEY DID IT BACK THEN, BETWEEN COUSINS, BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND WHAT NOT. AS A GROUP, THEY'RE ALL IN FAIR TO GOOD CONDITION. NOT A LOT OF OUTRIGHT DAMAGE, BUT PLENTY OF FOLDING, SOME AGE DARKENING, FOXING IN SPOTS, THAT SORT OF THING. THE ENVELOPES HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK AND THEY SHOW IT. AND SOME OF THE LETTERS ARE WRITTEN IN PENCIL, WHICH MAKES READING THEM A CHORE. BUT IT'S STILL A NEAT GLIMPSE BACK INTO EVERYDAY LIFE WELL OVER 100 YEARS AGO. NOTE. . .THESE WERE STORED FOR YEARS IN THE HOME OF A SMOKER, AND THEY DO HAVE A SLIGHT ODOR OF TOBACCO SMOKE TO THEM. IT'S NOT BAD, BUT IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO THAT SORT OF THING YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS ON THESE. FAIR WARNING. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY, THEY TELL THE STORY.
