My photo shows the ACTUAL item on sale. A gift-quality vintage Mechanix Illustrated Magazine, October 1956, G+ or better condition considering its age, has some insignificant imperfections. The cover has some minor shelf-wear. A tiny white handwritten note showing year is NOT there, it was temporarily placed on top of the cover. A great present or collectible item suitable for framing. Might have a small address label or traces of one, if shown on the photo. Comes in a protective plastic sleeve. Trusted seller, please check my website, feedback and ratings. ULTRA-FAST ORDER PROCESSING, USUALLY SAME-DAY WITH A TRACKING NUMBER. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.?
