    Description

    Rare Original-Still Rolled
    1915 Wartime
    Delivery Roll of Newspapers
    THE TIMES
    [of London]
    November 10-12, 1915
    NEVER BEEN UNROLLED!
    Very Rare Never-Opened / Never-Read Delivery Roll
    Stamped and Addressed to a Subscriber in the U.S.A.
    Without actually unrolling this special relic, I was able to peek inside and see that it appears to contain four separate editions: November 10, 11, and 12, as well as the "Literary Supplement" dated Nov. 11.
    [
    CONDITION...
    ]
    - Some age rubbing on the ends of the roll from storage and handling.
    - No bad smells, moisture evidence, or other sign of abuse.
    - The original stamp is still in place.
    - The newspapers inside are still bright (not age-yellowed), since they have been rolled up tightly these 100+ years.
    - The delivery sleeve, as shown, split open cleanly sometime in the past -- no missing paper, and it could simply be sealed back up with adhesive if you wish.  But this afforded the chance to peek inside and see what editions are in there.
    - Also, someone penned "Nov 1915" on one end of the sleeve, as pictured.
    The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique items always show their age. (Don't we all!?)  It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that
    there will be something
    about this item (or lot) that's not perfect and may need touch-up.
    PLEASE SUPERSIZE ALL PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING.  I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.

    U.S. purchasers, you can choose from various
    shipping options
    in this listing.  Shipping costs vary dramatically depending on your Zip code, so choose the one that best suits your needs.  I never inflate shipping to make hidden profits.  If you believe the shipping is too high,
    please message me

    SHIPPING UPGRADES:
    At our discretion, we may upgrade your shipping to a

    do not
    wish to have your shipping choice upgraded,
    please message me
    as soon as you complete your purchase.
    INTERNATIONAL
    SHIPPING:
    By default, international shipment is through eBay's Global Shipping Program, which means the shipping rate (cost) is determined by eBay -- outside my control.  BUT ...
    If you live in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, or U.K.
    ,
    message me

    may
    be a cheaper alternative using Priority Post -- depending on the size and value of your parcel.
