👉Extremely Rare Antique 1880’s Santa Claus’ Story Book Hurst & Co. Vintage

Description: Santa Claus storybook for boys and girl. This extremely rare antique was published between the years 1880 to 1897. Hurst & Company was a New York publisher in business from 1871 - 1919. This Christmas Story Book was an earlier work for Hurst, with no record of its existence from my research. This book is in overall great condition given that it is roughly 140 years old. There is no publishing date on the book, but they cleverly included the 1880 date in the picture next to the title page. And it was owned by a boy dated 1897 (I tried to find the owner or relatives, but unfortunately he passed after being injured in war and did not leave any disendants or have any siblings) . The color in the cover is amazing, with very minor wear and some bumps on the corners. There are black and white lithograph illustrations throughout the book. While the pages are yellowed from age, they are very clean with no foxing; also, the story pages are all clean and free from writing, tears or bends. The back cover is also illustrated and in great condition too. The binding is solid, but there is some small evidence of wear. 2-3 pages have a small tear. Otherwise, it doesn't appear the book was opened much if at all based on how clean and crisp the internal pages are. A very nice 1880 collectible children's story book.
