Your Weekly Cape Cod Guide souvenir tourist magazine September 2, 1972 130 pages

Description

Your Weekly Cape Cod Guide magazine. This official tourist guide to the beauty of Cape Cod in Massachusetts runs 130 pages in total. It measures 5.25 x 8.75 inches. It is a step back into time, as it lists all the major summer events in and around the Cape that summer. If you are a film maker or writer researching that era, this is the perfect source material to recreate This covered the Labor Day weekend that year. Great ads for ice cream places and other businesses will make you swoon. Lots of vintage illustrations and art.
Yes, there is modest edge wear to this guide, but all pages intact!
I am auctioning off a collection of vintage magazines for a friend. Her mother was originally a coal miner’s daughter from Kentucky but she found love with a man from Boston. They lived in Framingham, MA together for several decades. Her husband died two years ago but she soldiered on. However, during a Northeaster last fall of 2020, a tree fell on their 1950s ranch house. This meant that she had to move out quickly for safety’s sake.
This woman is now safe in a new home. But she is forced to sell off all the magazines she has been saving – one could say hoarding -- since the 1950s. She has been a very committed collector and has lots of great magazines that span five decades.
I am selling this huge array of magazines in lots to speed the process. They will be grouped according to category. Please note that these magazines reflect normal loving use and that means modest edge wear. Some have a slightly musty odor that can be remedied by a couple of days of airing out. Sometimes it also means pen or pencil writing on certain pages. Please note that I am not listing every possible flaw in these magazines, for the sake of moving them out quickly.
Please see my other auctions featuring books and magazines from the collection of the Kentucky coal miner’s daughter who moved to Framingham, MA.
Once again, I have been an eBay seller since 1998 -- yep, 23 years -- and I have 100% positive feedback. Bid with confidence.
