22 pages. Text in English. Illustrated throughout. Nice assortment of dated advertising as well, often illustrated.
Nice lot of 3 early 20th century American aviation magazine with pleasing visual content. Lot contains the following issues: April 26th, May 10th, & July 26th 1920.
Magazines extracted from a bound volume with staples added, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. Each remains overall a nice looking example. Rare early magazines in any condition.
Small age flaws or defects include 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 remains 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 item is not new- it is old and has been handled by different owners in the past.
