Antique Original 1839 Historic Portsmouth New Hampshire City Book and Directory. This is in truly remarkable condition for age and intended use. Embossed boards with gilt lettering. Worth the price just for the beautiful printed material throughout.
A great tool for maritime, historical and genealogical research. Loads of interesting and important material as well as plenty of fun advertising. Not every day you find things with an anti slavery society advertised!Beautifully printed on early paper, this book is truly a work of art. Measures about 6.25" by about 4".
There is the occasional smudge and creased page, but looks more like something from the 1960's than Civil War period. Please get them approved before purchasing. Any questions must be answered before the sale.
I do my best to get back to everyone in a timely fashion. If you don't hear a response within 48 hours please ask question again! I love old things so I'm always hunting through auctions, flea markets & yard sales for the ultimate score. I love bringing the old and unique back to market & I'm constantly adding inventory so please check back often. You never know what I'll find next!
