The Saturday Evening Post.
Published May 14th, 1927, Philadelphia by Curtis Publishing Company.
208 pages. Text in English. Illustrated throughout. Very nice assortment of pictorial advertising, often full page color. The nice color ads from this magazine are often sold individually.

Wonderful early 20th century American magazine with pleasing visual content and great cover art by E.M. Jackson! 

Saddle stitched binding remains sound, one double page is a bit rough along the edge and has been taped back in misplacing a page, spine has been taped in the past, various typical mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. Overall a nice looking and very acceptable example.

Small age flaws or defects include possible random old creasing, edge chipping, small light old staining, etc. The pictures give a very good sense of how the item survives. With the original small subscribers paper address label affixed to cover used to mail the magazine.

Virtually all periodicals of this 1920's era are scarce today as loose complete issues due to the many paper drives. Like most random survivals of old periodical printing, any specific example (like this one) is likely among a relative handful still extant. As each decade goes back from 1950, the rate of scarcity for any specific magazine or paper item increases noticeably.

Text block remains overall clean, and displays a pleasing age patina.

Magazine remains attractive on the shelf, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this antique magazine survives. This item is not new- it is old and has been handled by different owners in the past.
