Auction History Result 2b0791 PENTHOUSE vol 1 no 1 magazine September 1969 historic first American edition, ultra rare! Date Sold 5/10/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Magazine (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm]) (Learn More) Penthouse ("The Magazine For Men") is an adult magazine from 1965 to the present. It was founded by Robert 'Bob' Guccione in England in 1965, when the first issue was published, and each English issue combined urban lifestyle articles and softcore pornographic pictorials that, in the 1990s, temporarily evolved into hardcore. Something that Penthouse had that Playboy lacked was the "Penthouse Forum" filled with wild stories from readers, which many people suspected were entirely fictional, but were presented as fact. In 1969, Guccione launched the American version of his magazine, but the early English issues are FAR more rare than the American ones. The Penthouse logo is a stylized key which incorporates both the Mars and Venus symbols in its design. The magazine's centerfold models are known as Penthouse Pets and customarily wear a distinctive necklace inspired by this logo. Penthouse has also branched out into video production and a safe-for-all-ages humor magazine called Penthouse Max Important Added Info: Note that this is one of four rare early issues of the American edition of Penthouse. We are also currently auctioning the first few issues of the English edition which was first published in 1965, prior to the American edition. They include the historic first two issues, and we are listing them in five separate auctions. These magazines are FAR more rare than almost all other men's magazines! Also note that this item contains some nudity, so we have placed a white bar over those areas for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have the white bars. Condition: very good. Note that we have attempted to check to see if the magazine is complete and uncut, and we believe that it is. However, there is a slight possibility that we might have missed a small cut or a page that was neatly removed, and if that happens, you can return the magazine. We have solely provided an overall description of the condition of the magazine, but you can also refer to our super-sized images. Please bid (or not bid) based on that overall grade and by viewing the super-sized images. Learn More about condition grades
