CONDITION

Both issues of these 128 year old issues are in good overall condition - 

complete and well intact.

Typical wear that would be expected for 100+ year old periodicals.

No loose pages.

No Markings.

The 1898 issue has numerous un-cut pages (top edge) – 

I’ll leave it to the new owner to decide how to address this condition.

See photos and scans to evaluate.
