AI Item Analysis

A lot of two antique books from around 1900. One is 'The Early Poems of Ralph Waldo Emerson' with a biographical introduction by Henry Ketcham, published by A. L. Burt Company, New York. The other book is 'Evangeline' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

AI Appraisal Report

Based on comparable sales of similar antique books from the early 1900s by well-known authors, especially when sold as a lot or in fair condition, the estimated value for these two books is likely in the lower range of collectible books. Condition is a major factor for antique books, and without seeing the condition of both books, a precise value is difficult. However, due to their age and the authors, there is some inherent value as collectible literary works.
