Description
This antique set of ZELL'S 1883 Encyclopedia Dictionary Volumes I, II, lll & lV Gazateer are in good pre-owned condition, especially considering their age. There is obvious cosmetic wear on the covers particularly around the corners, please see the photos. There is what appears to be a manufacturing flaw on one page where the page was not properly cut, again, please see the photos. This flaw did not seem to have affected the colorful edge printing in any way. The interior of the books are in pretty decent condition as well. There is some slight yellowing as would be expected from books of this era, the inside cover sheets are very colorful and in great shape. While examining the pages of the books I did come across the personal notes and pictures that were hidden within these historic pages. I thought they were interesting and might add a flair of further interest to whoever gets these books… they are included in the listing. (I think they were notes that someone made preparing to play a “Guess Who I Am” game, using these volumes as background, study material. I just thought they were really cool and didn’t want to just throw them out).

Wow! This was the very best shopping experience I’ve ever had on eBay. The item - a lovely vintage lampshade - is exquisite. Even better than it looked in the photos. And the care and attention given to shipping was extraordinary. Not only was it sent immediately, but the packing was amazing. It was a delicate item, and it was triple packed: bubble wrapped inside a box, inside another box with lots of packing around it. I would absolutely trust this seller. My highest recommendation!

Great seller, item was shipped promptly, packaged well and item was as described. After unpacking and a quick once over it was new unused in perfect shape. Threw on a 4ah UO battery and it felt great, could definitely feel it was more powerful vs their next gen max line. Very happy with purchase, a great value for these price paid. Would recommend seller, A+

Seller packaged item extremely well, it's exactly as stated in the description, I'm just bummed the New England states are all one piece!! I thought because they were all different colors that they were separated, but unfortunately that's not the case. Not their fault, probably mine for not paying attention closely enough. Shipping cost was high.
