EVERYBODYS CORONATION NUMBER VINTAGE MAG

EVERYBODY'S Old Collectible Magazine 1953 Coronation Number

SALE NOW ON AT MY EBAY SHOP

For sale by auction with no reserve is a copy of Everybody's magazine printed in 1953. The cover is in a good condition considering its over 50 years old, just some minor wear and discolouration. The cover pages are a little loose because the staples are rusty which is usual for such an old magazine.

All 55 pages are all present and in a good condition for their age, some minor 'foxing' around the edges. Overall the old magazine is not in a 'perfect' condition but would be a nice edition to a magazine collector or collector's of advertising ephemera.
