  • Conflict: WW II (1939-45)
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
  • Condition: Not a complete newspaper, includes pages 1-6, 15-18, 21-22. The paper is very sturdy. However, the paper has been torn and subsequently heavily taped along the center horizontal crease. There is an additional tear in the upper right hand corner of the front page that has also been repaired with tape as well as tape running along the entire left hand vertical seam between the front and back page. Additionally there is a 5.5" x 1" triangular shaped tear that has been torn out along the lower right hand edge. I have included photos of the front page and the reverse side. These are the only problems. I have included photos of all pages that have relevant war content plus the back page. The other pages are unremarkable in news and their condition is consistent with the rest of the issue. Paper is stored in a clear acid-free plastic sleeve with one end open.
