PLAYBOY Magazine 1960 6012 December

Very collectable issue featuring MARILYN MONROE.

Playboy December 1960

PLAYMATE: Carol Eden

COVER: Teddi Smith

It is still almost possible to complete your entire collection of this vintage pop culture ephemera that reflected the socio-historical and cultural history of attitudes from the post-war 1950s, the Flower Power 1960s, the rebellious 1970s, the hedonistic 80’s, the ‘naughty 90’s’ and the headwinds of the ‘noughties’.

Alternatively, it makes a very amusing BIRTHDAY PRESENT related to the year and/or month of the birthday. If you like, we can giftwrap it, send it straight to the recipient of your choice, add a message and not send the usual receipt. (Just put your requirements in the “Comments” box and we promise to do our best.)
