Australian home journal December 1st 1937 with four sewing patterns, unused, factory folded, three frocks bust 36 inches, child’s frock age 4 years

$29.00

Bust 36 inches.

Australian home journal 1st December 1937.  Contains four UNPRINTED unused, factory folded sewing patterns. The patterns are for the three women’s dresses, and child’s dress on the front cover. The instructions are inside the magazine, along with some fantastic advertisements for mail order sewing patterns, craft patterns, some fantastic advertisements and some very dated personal advice. 

The patterns are UNPRINTED unused, complete and factory folded. The magazine has some signs of wear. The covers have a grubby appearance. The staples are absent, there are rust marks where they have been. There is some staining and foxing on the covers and internal pages. The patterns are creased (see photo). There are corner bumps on some pages. One of the pages has a section cut out of it. The covers are in colour and the contents are in black and white.

The Christmas novelty booklet advertised on the cover is missing. This is a second-hand item.

Your pattern will arrive packed in an archival quality comic book bag with an archival quality backing board.
