About this Item

(Old Magazines, Early 20th Century Periodicals, Popular Science, Inventions, Mechanics, Illustrated Magazines, Aviation, Model Ships, Vintage Advertising). Lot x 2 Popular Science. Published monthly, New York by Popular Science Monthly Co.2 issues, each c. 144 pages. Text in English. Illustrated throughout. Nice assortment of dated advertising as well, often illustrated. Nice lot x 2 early 20th century American scientific magazines with pleasing visual content. Great cover art on both, both have dirigible articles within (one about the Akron airship), the other about the construction of an airship 3x the size of the Shenandoah. Bindings remains clean, tight, and sound, one has some old damp staining throughout on some lower margin edges, various mostly small signs of age, time and handling, nothing offensive or major. Overall a nice looking example. 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 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 item survives. This item is not new- it is old and has been handled by different owners in the past. Magazines Measure c. 11 1/2" H x 8 1/2" W. Due to large size, lot will ship flat with cardboard protection so a multi-pound package.[B11536].
