"Dear Old Pal of Mine" is a popular song from World War I, with music by Gitz Rice and lyrics by Harold Robe. The song was published in 1918 by G. Ricordi & Co. of New York. The genre of the song can be classified as a sentimental ballad, and the lyrics express nostalgia for a friendship that was forged in the context of the war effort.

I will include here the description from eBay that most closely matches the condition of this piece of music:

 

Acceptable: A book with obvious wear. May have some damage to the cover but integrity still intact. The binding may be slightly damaged but integrity is still intact. Possible writing in margins, possible underlining and highlighting of text, but no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.

This sheet music is a time capsule from a previous era, with some examples in my collection going back over 100 years old.  The conditions of media of this age can include fading, yellowing, cracking spines, odor, missing pages, loose or missing covers, and much more.  I will try to alert you as to the condition of what I am listing.  Each piece I do a brief check of it's overall condition, but I cannot promise that something could escape my glance. Thanks for checking out this old time classic!   

I will be listing hundreds of vintage magazines and media in the coming weeks and months.   Keep a look out for additional listings, and thanks for supporting this cancer survivor and small business!
