Nice early 20th century American magazine with pleasing visual content. Excellent color lithographed image worthy of framing.
Early owner's name written in pencil on covers: G.A. Swallow.
Binding remains clean, tight, and sound, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. Overall a nice looking survival.
Overall entirely pleasing example of what is likely a scarce survival. The pictures give a very good sense of how the item survives.
Virtually all periodicals and paper items of this era are somewhat scarce today as loose complete issues. Like most random survivals of old paper printing, any specific examples (like this issue) 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.
Magazine remain attractive on the shelf, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique item survives. This item is not new- it is old and has been handled by different owners in the past.
