Vintage estate find, please see photos. Magazines may have dog ears or peeling cover spines but are very readable if handled with care. Pages have some yellowing and are somewhat brittle. Readable if handled with care. A neat look back at 1960 with lots of fascinating vintage articles and advertisements. Fun to read or display in the man cave or garage!
