British Update: Free Gift Farrago: School Friend 1958/59
*Girls’ Comics: Three issues of the very traditional and long running girls’ comic School Friend, each with their original Free Gifts, are presented this week. Two are consecutive from 1958: 14th & 21st June. The first has a GD/VG comic with a GD Free Gift (My Friendship Album) with a rusty staple and loose pages; the second is a FA/GD comic with heavy dust shadow and a GD Free Gift (My Holiday Album) in a similar condition to the gift from the earlier issue. Our final offering in this update is 19th September 1959, a GD comic with rusty staples but with two Free Gifts: the Ballerina Brooch (still sealed in its original envelope) and two autographed photos of contemporary celebrities.
