Penthouse Magazine, December 1975 'Special Christmas Issue'

This is a vintage December 1975 edition of Penthouse: The International Magazine for Men. The cover features a blonde woman in a yellow t-shirt and white lace underwear, positioned against a floral backdrop. The 'Penthouse' masthead is printed in a large, bold, lime-green serif font at the top. Key cover text includes calls for articles such as 'The Phoenix Murders—The CIA's Deadliest Blunder Yet' and a 'Free 16-Page Bicentennial Calendar Inside.' The price is listed as $1.75. Regarding physical condition, the magazine exhibits significant signs of age and wear. There is visible creasing across the top and bottom corners of the front cover, minor spine roll, and some edge wear reflecting its nearly 50-year age. The gloss on the cover appears slightly dulled with age-related patina, and the pages within show a thickness typical of the mid-70s print era. The printing details at the bottom of the cover list various international prices, indicating its global distribution. This specific issue is notable for its 'Special Christmas Issue' branding and the Bicentennial calendar inclusion, which adds historical value for collectors of 1970s Americana and men's lifestyle periodicals.
