<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Loxias, post: 151647, member: 2389&quot;]My absolute favorite is a 1927 first edition copy of Harold Speakman&#039;s Mostly Mississippi- a witty tale about his trip with his wife down the entire length of the Mississippi. However, I do have a few books over 100 years old.</p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite antique is for the striking condition. 1871 Orange Blossom&nbsp; I actually have yet to read it and think it may be a facsimile. I have no idea how to tell. I&#039;ve included pictures, but I don&#039;t know how to tell if it is actually 145 years old. Maybe you can help. I&#039;ve always been suspicious of it because it looks so new, but I thought, who would take the time to reproduce one in exact detail. Then I learned about facsimile. Still, I bought it because the crowed wasn&#039;t paying attention. Real or facsimile, this book represents my first successful sneaky buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>[FLOAT_LEFT][ATTACH=full]40945[/ATTACH] [/FLOAT_LEFT]</p><p>[FLOAT_LEFT][ATTACH=full]40946[/ATTACH] [/FLOAT_LEFT]</p><p>[FLOAT_LEFT][ATTACH=full]40947[/ATTACH] [/FLOAT_LEFT]</p><p>[FLOAT_LEFT][ATTACH=full]40948[/ATTACH] [/FLOAT_LEFT]</p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom two photos are of the Harold Speakman book</p><p>[ATTACH=full]40949[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]40950[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
