There may also be binding residue (glue or darker paper) at the bound edge. The pages may have small edge tears and/or small folds consistent with pages of this age.

1937 Chicago & Illinois Midland Railway Company Calendar
"Lincoln the Surveyor" by Fletcher Ransom
Big, beautiful calendar from the long series of Lincoln
calendars distributed by the C&IM Railway. The title leaf is still
attached to the calendar; it contains information about Abraham
Lincoln as a surveyor.
The size is 25.5" by 29".
The color of the border in the first picture below is darker than the border really is. The actual color is closer to the green in the second picture below.
The condition is good. The calendar pad only has one sheet
left--the December sheet, which includes smaller November 1937 and January
1938 calendars. The calendar page has a tear about half way down from the
top in the middle of the page. There's no paper missing so the tear isn't
very obvious when the page is held flat. There's some edge wear but the
print is unaffected.
