They have been folded for a long time and are torn along some of the folds. In addition, some smaller pieces are likely missing, but nothing large missing. Very interesting to examine. Material is age darkened and soiled, but quite good to look at. There is color and it is faded, but still quite pleasant. Overall, in poor condition, mostly present and scarce. As the title says, these were made for use in schools and there are some remnants of rings and ties for hanging these on a wall. These will be shipped folded.
