Please take the time to read through my entire item description and view all the photographs.  I consistently prepare accurate and detailed descriptions and provide clear close up photographs for all my listings.  The aforementioned notwithstanding, note the photos are still the biggest and most important part of this or any description.  As the old saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words".  If you would like additional photos or have specific questions just message me and I will respond ASAP.

For your consideration is this original 68 year old vintage, DECEMBER 1956, issue of ESCAPADE MAGAZINE featuring “A sensational new Marilyn Monroe calendar”.  Many years ago I came across this magazine along with other vintage men’s entertainment magazines at an estate sale.  I anticipate listing these collectible vintage magazines so others can enjoy them as much as I have over the years.

This magazine has a total of 70 numbered pages and weighs approximately 7.0 ounces by itself.  The overall measurements of the magazine are approximately 8-3/8” wide and 11.0” high.  The magazine is currently safely secured inside a protective clear plastic envelope as depicted in description photos #17 and #18.  Refer to description photos #19 and #20 to confirm size dimensions and for more details about what I have described. 

The magazine covers and all its internal pages remain securely stapled and firmly attached.  As can be confirmed in the description photos, both the front and back covers show normal, honest but minimal handling wear and very light minor surface blemishes.  All the colors remain vibrant and the pages are in very good condition and are easily readable.  There are no handwritten notations, tears, cut-outs or damage on any of the pages.  The featured Marilyn Monroe fold-out calendar appears on pages 36 and 37 and is depicted in description photo #11.  Please look at all the description photos closely as they accurately depict the condition of this magazine better than I can describe it.

This magazine is an original survivor from back in the day.  In preparation of this listing I inspected all the pages and while doing so found the photos, articles and dated advertisements just as interesting, amusing and informative today as they were 67 years ago.

Please look at the photos closely as they accurately confirm the condition of the vintage men’s magazine I describe and depict exactly what you will receive if you buy this piece.  If you have any questions, concerns or would like additional photographs of a particular area on the magazine, please email me and I will respond ASAP. 

Please note; post office regulations specifically prohibit publications containing any "advertisements" from being shipped USPS Media Mail.  To that end, this magazine will be shipped via USPS Ground Advantage.  In an effort to protect the magazine from being bent and/or damage while in transit, it will be secured between two pieces of protective cardboard before being placed inside a 13.0" x 10.0" x .50" shipping envelope weighing approximately 15.0 ounces after packaging.  Buyer pays true shipping cost, if you would like to estimate shipping to your home zip code you can enter the aforementioned shipping information into either the USPS or eBay postal calculator program.
