The National Geographic Magazine October, 1951 (C) Paperback – January 1, 1951

I have been interested in military insignia and uniforms since as far back as 1957. Around 1958, a friend tore out some pages from an old National Geographic that illustrated WWI insignia and gave them to me. The edges, as to be expected, were ragged, and he had folded them. Some 50 years later, they were pretty tattered, and the pages didn't even indicate the month or year of the magazine. Recently, I was able to nail down the exact issue (October 1917) and bought a copy. Considering its age, it is in exceptionally good condition.I got an unexpected surprise, as the magazine also contains literally hundreds of full-color flag illustrations and information about each flag. The flags range from US state and historical flags to flags of other nations and principalities. It is a real treasure trove.

Great that we could get a 100 year old magazine that was published the year my Dad was born (1921). It is full of ads of products of yesteryear and excellent stories. Where else but Amazon could you get something like this!
