    Overall condition is very good with age yellowing, some very minor splits on a few of the papers. The only large split is on the 6th paper as shown in the last photo.  Any other splits are inconsequential.
    Some of the papers were dated on the inside page, others I deduced the date from the comics or other articles. They are 6 papers in numerical sequential order from April through May of 1945.
    They measure 8" x 11" and each paper has 12 pages total.
    Please view all photos as they are part of the description.  These are truly fascinating documents of our nation's history and very interesting reading, from local to national to international subjects of interest and the pictures are great.
