This is an original page from a vintage magazine of the date you see above. This is not a photographic reprint/reproduction.

Page measures approx. 9.5 x 14 inches.

I would classify this as in Very Good condition for its age. Age toning as might be expected given age, especially around the edges.

Please see photos as they constitute part of the description. 

Ships flat in an archival sleeve with a protective backing board.

Will combine shipping on multiple items. If eBay does not allow for combined shipping when you are wanting to accept offers or add multiple items to your cart, please e-mail me and I will work with you to combine multiple items into one lot/ facilitate payment of just one shipping.

International Buyers: I use eBay's Global Shipping Program. I charge $5.99 for shipping in the U.S., which gets the package from Dallas, Texas, to eBay's Global Shipping Center in Chicago. Any other fee you see for international shipping is levied and kept by eBay to get the package from Chicago to you. If you buy multiple items, I will refund all but one of my $5.99 shipping fees.

OR, I can, if you let me know which items you want, cancel all but one of the auctions and revise the remaining auction to be a lot including your other items, which would thus allow you to pay just one shipping fee.
