This listing is for two Original 1847 Davy Crockett's Almanacs. It appears that the bindings were restitched many years ago and the two copies were partially combined. There are two copies of each monthly calendar, but they are not all in order. There are even two pages that are upside down. There are also different engravings on the opposite sides of the same months, so they must have published different versions of the 1847 almanac. There are a total of 33 pages (66 sides), but only one cover, so every original page is not included. Several of the pages are not stitched together with the others. We will leave it up to the winning bidder to re-assemble the almanacs if they wish. The condition is fair, with discoloration, tears, and general wear to the page edges. Please see all the detailed photos below and contact us with any questions before bidding. We have a low opening bid price so don't miss your chance to win!
