THE ACORN, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, February, 1887  This small newspaper is part of the amateur press hobby that was popular in the latter decades of the 19th century. Printed on small presses by amateur printers, the content was typically whimsical and very localized. This is the volume 1, number 7 issue. Most such newspapers had a very short life.
Eight pages, 6 by 9 1/4 inches, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to a single sheet, great condition.
