Lot x 3 Camp Marienfeld Souvenir Advertising Brochures. 
Published 1924-8, New Haven, Connecticut by Ryder Printing House.
3 books, each c. 40 pages. Text in English. Folding panoramic views in two of the three books. Illustrated throughout w/ b&w photos. 

Publisher's paper wrappers. Every single boy and counselor is named and where they were from.

Rare small print run items from this NH Boys Summer Camp, with really nice folding group photos of all the boys who attended in the 1927 & 28 booklets. Items like these wee printed in relatively small runs (almost certainly low 100's) for obvious reasons and survive entirely by chance, most having been lost to time. The sort of item which one could go years without finding another one individually, unique as a group.

Lot is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Lot is not new or in "new" condition.

Bindings gently age worn, mostly light or inoffensive signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, lot remains overall attractive as an object.

Paper is gently toned, still clean, tight, sound internally.

Still attractive on the shelf. The lot displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail showing how this lot survives. The asking price reflects the condition based on our examination and 35+ years full time exposure to antiquarian books, maps and printed ephemera of all types and genres. Flaws seen and/ or described have been taken into account.

Books Measure c. 6 1/4" H x 3 1/2" W.
