Item description from seller

Issues 1-19 + 22 Starting February 1950 to Winter 1961-62. Issues 1-9 in the plain printed cover, then all the other issues are in the publishers colourful pictorial wrappers. Numerous illustrations throughout. A couple of issues have loosely inserted letters from the company. the last issue has a very light crease across the top corner and issue one has some very light creasing to the top corners. Some very slight dustiness and age toning to the front edge of some earlier issues. Some staples slightly rusty. All are housed in the publishers printed card folder which is age toned, dusty and rubbed. The pocket into which the issues are slipped has come undone along the front edge. Some very short tears to the edges and corners. A scarce and interesting magazine.
