Disbound, so rough left edge, cover is detached, some pages loosened as often found on old newspapers like this. Binding remains clean, tight, and sound, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. Overall a nice looking example. Small age flaws or defects include random old creasing, edge chipping, small light old staining, old tape repairs to edge tears on 2 pages, etc. Overall entirely acceptable example of what is likely a scarce survival.

Magazine remains attractive on the shelf. It displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
