Thank you for viewing our listings. We add new inventory weekly to our store and sincerely appreciate your business. All of our items are from our closed aviation art gallery (CollectAir) or museum (Friend or Foe?) or from our own extensive personal estate collection. We are a private party seller, not a big box retail company. Buy with confidence from our family as we have a 100% seller rating! Be sure to save us as a "favorite" and follow our store to get the inside scoop on new inventory.
This is the holy grail of vintage magazines for the discriminating collector. Model Airplane News, Vol 1, No. 2 (February-March) was the unofficial second issue ever, in early 1929! The magazine offered is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but is worthy of any collector looking to add something so rare, that few others will ever have it. Yes, there is some storage wear, minor staining in and out. I only see one (1) torn corner of page 17/18, otherwise it appears to be complete. The cover is still stapled and intact! It's 94+ years old folks! I have never seen another copy offered, ever. This has been in our collection for 60+ years and it's time to let it go. Please view ALL photos of the item offered and its condition. Absolutely sold as-is, as-shown. Magazine is shipped complimentary via USPS Priority Mail, signature required. ** Please save the time and avoid any low-ball offers** Reasonable offers will be promptly considered.

If its not in the photos, it is not included. We do our best to fairly and accurately represent our items, but in some cases due to the rarity of the item or its age and condition, little information may be available. We do not inventory our kits, or open sealed items or antiques for completeness unless noted as such in our listings. These are estate sale items and presented in the condition found.

3) Damaged items. We make a valiant effort to carefully package all of our items for shipment. In the majority of the cases we use USPS as our preferred shipper. Items valued at less than $100 are insured by USPS without additional cost. Items over $100 would require insurance to be purchased at an additional cost to buyer unless otherwise included in the shipping cost stated in listing. If you would like to insure your item please let us know before paying. Risk of damage is that of the buyer and buyer must contact USPS for any claim or compensation.
