Vintage Almanacs Informative, Humorous, Collectible

I just love looking at the old almanacs published in the 1800's and early 1900's.  I was fortunate to acquire a large box of almanacs.  They certainly did not use archival paper, as they are brittle, torn etc.  But the articles, charts and advertisements are priceless.  Amusing, funny and great medicinal advice if you believe in the old cures. Tonics for cures, tonics for women and just about everything for every illness you have.
