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 but are not brittle. A neat look back at 1961 with lots of fascinating vintage articles and advertisements. Fun to read or display in the man cave or garage!
