These wartime Vogues are impossible to find now, there's only a finite
amount left in the world and copies are increasingly difficult to
source.
Excellent condition. The photograph shows actual magazine you will receive, superb for this vintage. PLEASE note the hole which runs through the entire magazine was made as published - to thread some string to which a pattern or supplement magazine would have been secured.
