For your consideration is an extremely rare collection of early Scientific American publications from 1882-1883.  NO DOUBLES.  47 issues, overall good condition considering these were printed on regular non-gloss paper.  All pages and covers are still attached, which for a lot of magazines going on 140 years old that's pretty impressive.  Pages have the right amount of browning to know that they're original, but overall better than average as these were stored in boxes and not exposed to light or moisture.  This is the type of collection that may take a lifetime to assemble at any price for a golden-era of scientific machinery.
