All 6 notebooks are blank. 5 have lined pages. The desk pad has perforated pages that are quartered for tearing off. One large book is clearly from the 1910s as shown on the front. The two large books have cardstock covers and have bent or torn back covers (see pix). The smallest has a leather cover. The gray blank book has a cloth covering and an ink blot on the inside back (see pix). The other two have plastic covers. All are study and clean inside.
