More Information
The collection shows significant signs of age-related wear throughout. The Troop with a Bad Name has noticeable staining and shelf wear to the cloth boards, with bumping to the corners (photo 1). Several softcover booklets, including Games and Activities for Scouts and Running a Rover Crew, exhibit heavy fraying, chipping, and loss to the paper spines (photo 4). Toning and foxing are visible to the page edges and covers of the majority of the items (photo 2). Rusted staples are evident in the pamphlet bindings, and some covers show creasing and small closed tears at the edges (photo 5).
