Condition: The magazine is in good vintage condition but is a little tatty and marked. There is evidence of reading wear, wear to the covers, some creasing to the covers and minor marking, staples are rusted making central pages loose, some minor damage to internal pages and to the covers - visible in the pictures below. Considering the magazine is over 70 years old, its condition is very good, but certainly not perfect!
