Vintage, Rare
May 1915 ( Original 98 year old oversized large magazine )
Auto-Parts & Accessory Buyer
The Trade Journal of the Auto-Parts and Accessory Industry
Along with the magazine comes an original two-page letter stating that this was a sample copy of the Auto-Parts & Accessory Buyer. both pages of this letter show where the insect holes go thru the pages.
The insect small holes stop on page #8
Volume 1 , No. 1
Some of the articles / stories / product advertisements mention "Ford Motor Co" thru-out this magazine (example see cover). But magazine is not published by Ford.
Soft cover ; 48 pages ; black & white illustrations throughout ; fantastic vintage advertisements ;
The front cover has two - 1" tears to front top edge and a 1" tear to the back right edge ; Also , insect holes to cover and first 4 pages along with letter-page inserts (see photos)
centerfold is starting to separate from the magazine , if not for the insect holes , about good condition. So fair at best with the damage from the insect holes.
