(Old Magazines, Early 20th Century Periodicals, Americana, New York Times, News Magazines, Illustrated Magazines, Zeppelin Crash, ZR-2, Dirigible Disaster).

Lot x 2 Magazines.
Published August 30th, 1913 & September 1st, 1921, United States by Various.
2 issues, each c. 24 pages. Text in English. Illustrated throughout. Nice assortment of dated advertising as well, often illustrated.

Lot x 2 early 20th century American news magazines with pleasing visual content. Both contain photo articles relating to dirigible airships, the 1921 issue with a great double page spread, the 1913 with a dramatic cover.

Bindings remains tight and sound, old tape repairs along the top edge, edge chipping, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. Overall a nice looking example.

Assorted typical age flaws / defects include edge chipping as seen on one, possible random old creasing, edge chipping, small light old staining, etc. Overall entirely acceptable example of what is likely a scarce survival. The pictures give a very good sense of how the lot survives.

Virtually all periodicals of this era are somewhat scarce today as loose complete issues. 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.

Magazines remain attractive on the shelf. Lot displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

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

Magazines Measure c. 16 1/4" H x 11" W.
