Default 1925 & 1928 NECs

Anyone collect old NECs? Thinking about starting a collection?

I have an extra 1925 and 1928 I'm willing to part with.



Normal wear on both, considering their ages (80+ years!) and some pencil marks which is to be expected. I would say the '28 is in slightly better condition... less dog-eared pages & less handwriting. Some some strange reason, the first part of the '28 (up through page 64) is printed on white paper, as opposed to the usual tan. It also has "Turner Supply Co. Mobile Alabama" rubber-stamped on the front and back

Solid bindings on both.... they're not falling apart and have loose or ripped-out pages. And both would be a great addition to your collection.

$200 each, or $375 for the pair. Postage paid in lower 48. PM me if you're interested.

I was told they, like the moon, were made of cheese.

thats a neat collection. I have started collecting old books myself, although not limited to code books. So far I have my 1888 cookbook, and the one I bought from you, which is very neat, thanks a bunch!

"There ya go" is one of Ronnie's trademarks.

It means "Buy these two code books from the rat!"
