Meccano Magazine was a classic magazine for boys that ran for decades and covered not only Meccano model making but also had a wide variety of other non-fiction articles focusing on engineering, trains, planes and automobiles. These Pre-War issues are particularly interesting. Additionally, the adverts are wonderful!

The magazine measures 28 x 21 cm
Condition: Good - the magazine is in good vintage condition, the staples have rusted. There is evidence of reading wear, creasing to the covers and the magazine is slightly tatty with some minor damage to the front cover - visible in the pictures below. Considering the magazine is over 85 years old, its condition is good but certainly not perfect.
I accept returns, and if you'd like to see further pictures, or any questions - just ask!
