The magazine includes quite a number of interesting color illustrations and advertisements,
as well as plentiful similar black and white.
It is complete and intact, with no missing pages and is in very good overall condition.
Interior pages show some light age related darkening at edges. Staples remain intact
and secure. Spine is quite tight. Cover is showing some very light wear to spine
edges. Also a few additional very small surface and edge mars to front and back
cover.
A very interesting, informative, colorful magazine, full of fun craft and hobby projects.
Advertisements and articles show great examples of period fashions and products.
A few of my favorite features; woolies for babies, plus mother and daughter matching
aprons and house coats, as well a full color page of gift suggestions, such as purses,
slippers, gloves, stuffed animals, towels, etc, complete with directions for making
all items.
PLEASE NOTE: We also have three other early needlework magazines listed in this
category and we have priced them so if all are purchased at one time they can be
shipped together in our least expensive shipping group.
