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, pages may be slightly brittle but can be read if handled with care. The front cover of the June issue has come loose but is included. The December cover is torn in half vertically but both pieces are included. A neat look back at 1956 with lots of fascinating vintage articles and advertisements. Fun to read or display in the man cave or garage!
