This Letter Bill is in Good+ Condition -- some small imperfections and showing some handling wear. Toning and soiling. Some bumps in the handling that's resulted in corner/edge wear & rounding and some bends/creases. Also -- there's some overall damage on the left edge (bends, tears & small missing pieces), tears on the bottom edge & right bottom corner area -- and -- there's a couple of stab filing holes left top area. Also -- there's a total of three (3) side-to-side folds on the letter bill -- the middle or main fold is in 1/2.

Please Note: "The Middle or Main Fold" -- this Letter Bill has been "FOLDED" in 1/2 -- (side-to-side horizontally) -- with very slight tears starting on that fold -- the paper is getting a bit brittle -- Please Handle with Care !!

I will be shipping this Letter Bill -- "FOLDED in 1/2" -- with "EXTRA PROTECTION" -- it will show very well in your collection -- and -- it's getting hard to find these 130+ year old Letter Bills.
