Item: The A.P.O.C. Magazine (Anglo-Persian Oil Company Limited)Date: October 1924Issue: Volume I, Number 2Publisher: Britannic House, Finsbury Circus, London, E.C.2Description:An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a piece of early 20th-century industrial history. This is an original October 1924 copy of The A.P.O.C. Magazine, the internal house journal for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company Limited—the historic company that eventually evolved into British Petroleum (BP).Because these magazines were printed exclusively as internal publications for employees and corporate staff rather than the general public, surviving copies from the first year of publication are incredibly scarce.The front cover features a beautiful, striking 1920s modernist/industrial graphic illustration by artist Clarke, depicting oil distillation towers, storage tanks, and a shunting steam locomotive. It is a fantastic cross-collectible piece perfect for oil and gas historians, British corporate ephemera collectors, or fans of vintage industrial art.Condition Details (Please Read Carefully & See Photos):This 102-year-old magazine is complete and intact, but shows clear signs of age and historical handling:Front Cover Crease: There is a distinct, full-length vertical crease/fold running down the center of the front cover, visible through the green artwork.Archival Inscription: The top-right corner features a vintage, handwritten ink notation reading \"For Ref. Only\", heavily suggesting this copy was saved and utilized within an official corporate library or company archive.General Wear: Minor nicking/paper loss on the top edge, light corner wear, and expected age-toning to the paper.The item will be shipped securely flat in an acid-free protective sleeve with heavy cardboard backing to prevent any bending during transit.CENTRE PAGES NOW LOOSE RUSTY STAPLES HENCE NEW PRICEFREEPOST
