This great vintage kid's magazine is in a dirty EXTERNAL condition because of some dirt on the front cover (see photos). But, as a whole, this magazine is GOOD or VERY GOOD. This magazine is holding together well. It is solid and holding to the binding. The ink is mostly very nice & dark, with a few illustrations having some fade. The paper is not yellowed or particularly brittle. There was an INSERT that is not present any longer. From reading, I believe it was a toy list meant for kids to start jotting down what they wanted from their parents for X-mas a few months away. I imagine it was cut out by the original child owner of this magazine.
The pages have no real staining, There is a lot of life left inside this magazine - once you get past the dirt on the cover. See the photos for any detail you need.
If there is ANYTHING I can provide for you, let me know. I will take photos or scans of certain areas of the magazine if you'd like. Let me get you the information you need to make an informed decision about bidding on this great old historic publication.
....and thanks for looking.
