Original July 1947 issue of Weird Tales, featuring classic Golden Age horror and pulp storytelling.

This copy shows typical wear for its age, including spine stress and edge chipping, but remains complete and readable. The cover art still presents well, making it a solid display piece despite the condition issues.

All pages appear present with no major missing sections observed. Interior paper shows expected aging.

A good entry-level copy for collectors looking to add a 1940s Weird Tales issue without paying high-grade prices.
