Virtually all periodicals of this era are somewhat scarce today as loose complete issues. Like most random survivals of old periodical printing, any specific example (like this one) is likely among a relative handful still extant. As each decade goes back from 1950, the rate of scarcity for any specific magazine or paper item increases noticeably. Text blocks remain overall clean, and display a pleasing age patina. Lot displays a pleasing and unique age patina, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique lot survives. This lot is not new- it is old and has been handled by different owners in the past. Newspapers Measure c. 16" H x 11 1/2" W. [B11938].
