Newark Clothiers; etc.

A lot of these were removed from or soaked out of albums so some are good or less (some have been trimmed or have nicked corners), however more than half of them I would consider to be in Very Good + condition. Buyer pays $3.00 S/H. Insurance is extra (check with me for cost). Shipping and handling costs outside United States are calculated at end of auction or you can contact me before the end of the auction for an estimate.
