VINTAGE MAGAZINES AND PAPERS

PICTURE POST

Most of these 1940s papers have rusting around the staples, and a few have some loose pages, but are all complete.

 Picture Posts have lots of great wartime adverts, especially those advertising to tell you their products aren't available!

 As there was a huge drive to recycle paper during World War 2, these papers really shouldn't have survived.
