FEATURES AND DETAILS...
]
- Dimensions (approx.): 5.5" x 8.5"
The title translates loosely as: "Frightening Facts! - Read - Think - Ponder!"
My research has not turned up another example of this pamphlet, so it is possible you are purchasing the last surviving copy.
Has its original binder string (loose)
The front page has a name written in quill or nib pen: "W. Saml. Rix."   According to Internet sources, Samuel Rix resided in Shafferstown, Pennsylvania (now Shaefferstown) during that period.

CONDITION...
]
- Beautiful antique as-found condition
-- from a non-smoking environment
.
- The paper shows age toning and significant age loss at the bottom edge, and there are numerous dog-ears, but it is otherwise sound.
- I'm not sure, but reading the last line on the last page, I believe there may have been an additional page that has gone missing with time.
The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique items always show their age. (Don't we all!?)  It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that
there will be something
about this item (or lot) that's not perfect and may need touch-up.
PLEASE SUPERSIZE ALL PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING.  I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.
