CONDITION
Preowned vintage condition with substantial age and handling wear. Visible imperfections include creases, wrinkles, discoloration, dark staining near the bottom, handwritten numbers and a circled mark, faded markings, worn edges, small tears, and small holes or punctures. Some lettering is faded but remains readable.
This is delicate vintage paper and should be handled carefully. It is not new or mint condition. Please review all original, unedited photographs closely to assess the actual condition, folds, and wear.

The envelope is currently enclosed in a sealed, clear protective bag to help reduce exposure to dust, handling, and ambient moisture. It will be shipped in that bag. The bag is not represented as oxygen-free or archival-grade, and it cannot guarantee that natural paper aging will stop.
