Mayfair Magazine Vol 13 No 12 (1420) Jacqueline Janis Celia Sandra Charon Catherine Jan

Publication/Brand: Mayfair
Issue Date: Vol. 13 No. 12
Item Type: Vintage Magazine / Pop Culture Print Memorabilia / Collector’s Magazine
SKU: 1420

Condition Report:

This vintage edition is in used, age-worn condition. The front cover remains bright and displayable, with strong colour to the Mayfair masthead and clear Christmas-themed cover artwork. It does show visible cosmetic wear, including surface rubbing, handling marks, age-related marks, creasing, edge wear, corner wear, and spine-side wear.

The spine is attached but worn, with visible rubbing, stress marks, and noticeable wear from age and reading. The internal pages appear readable, but there is clear wear around the centre/spine area. One internal double-page spread shows visible separation/strain at the binding, so this should be treated as a collector’s reading copy rather than a mint archive copy. Pages show normal age toning, page-turn marks, light creasing, and general handling wear.

The rear cover features a Rémy Martin Fine Champagne Cognac advert and shows heavier wear, including surface rubbing, creases, corner wear, edge wear, spine-side wear, and storage marks. Overall, this is a complete-looking vintage issue from the images provided, but with clear age and binding wear. Please review all images carefully before purchase, because apparently paper from the 1970s does not emerge from a cupboard looking factory fresh. Tragic.

✨ THE MODELS & HIGHLIGHT FEATURES:

🌟 Christmas / Biggest Issue Feature:
This issue is promoted on the cover as Mayfair’s biggest issue ever, with 196 pages and a Christmas theme. That gives it stronger collector appeal than a standard monthly issue, especially for buyers interested in oversized seasonal editions and special-format vintage magazines.

📸 Year Review / Archive Feature:
A major feature listed in the contents is Maidens Over, described as a review of 24 favourites. This gives the issue added archive appeal, as it includes retrospective-style model content alongside the standard monthly features.

📖 Additional Magazine Content:
This issue includes a wide mix of Mayfair editorial, humour, fiction, reader services, and period lifestyle features. Visible contents include Who Threw That?, Courtesans For Kings, Economy Crazies, Crow’s Nest And Canvas, Carrie, Making Scents, and a motoring feature titled Getting to the heart of the Lotus.

🏎️ Motoring / Lotus Feature:
A strong non-model collector feature is the motoring article Getting to the heart of the Lotus, listed in the contents section. This adds crossover appeal for collectors of vintage car journalism, Lotus features, and classic motoring magazine content.

📱 Back Cover / Advert Feature:
The back cover features a Rémy Martin Fine Champagne Cognac advert with a festive visual theme. This gives the issue extra appeal for collectors of vintage alcohol advertising, retro Christmas print adverts, and 1970s magazine design.

Poster / Insert Note:

No separate poster or pull-out is visible in the images provided, so no poster is being advertised with this copy.
