Condition

This is a well worn copy that shows its age clearly on the outside, while the interior remains useful for reading.

  • Blue cloth covers have noticeable fading, discoloration, spotting, rubbing, and surface wear.
  • Corners and cover edges are worn and frayed.
  • The spine cloth has fading, rubbing, and wear at the ends.
  • Page edges are strongly toned with age.
  • Interior pages are age toned but remain clean, readable, and easy to handle.
  • Several black and white illustrations are present.
  • There is old pencil writing on the rear endpaper.
  • The endpapers show age discoloration and staining.
  • No dust jacket is present.

If you want a crisp display copy, the exterior wear will probably be more than you want. If you are looking for an original 1917 copy to read, research, or add to a collection of early Christian children's books, the interior has held up much better than the covers.

This 1917 Gospel Trumpet Company hardcover includes black and white illustrations, and it suits a reader or collector of early Christian children's books. If it's the right copy for you, it's ready to come home.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
