Original Softcover Catalog published in 1941, 8” x 11”, 551 pgs.
CONDITION:
Catalog is in good condition – It’s hard to find these old treasures in perfect condition – this one has no marks or writing inside - no cutouts – tightly bound. It does have some water marks on the bottom of many of the pages. Below I show you the worst of it. This is only in the margins and does not affect any of the images. It is on the lower ¼ inch of the bottom and on the lower right hand corner. Some of the pages have that rippling effect at the bottom from this exposure. This is mostly in the back half of the catalog. Not too bad really. ~ A great resource for your collection!!
What a fabulous addition to your vintage Library. If you have an interest in 1940s Fashions and lifestyle you will LOVE this catalog!
