This type of bound reference book was used by seed company salesmen to show customers and distributors the full label artwork for ordering seed packets, making complete surviving examples like this one genuinely scarce. The binder shows honest wear consistent with age and handling: the spine cloth has separated in areas exposing the binding post mechanism, the cover boards show surface toning, scuffing, and soiling, and a few interior pages have water spotting/staining (see photos for exact pages and extent). All label pages remain intact, legible, and vividly colored despite the wear.
Sold as a complete lot/collection, not individual labels. A wonderful find for collectors of seed packet ephemera, advertising art, botanical illustration, junk journaling, collage art supplies, or agricultural/gardening history.
Condition notes: binder covers worn, spine cloth separating, a few pages with water damage as shown; label artwork itself largely bright and undamaged.
