Monthly Featured Magazine
This month’s featured international magazine is an Illustrative Brochure from the Reg Park (Barbell) Co. Ltd.
The cover features Reg Park in the film “Hercules Conquers Atlantis” which I believe was released in 1961. From this I can only assume the brochure is from the same timeframe.
The brochure itself is 16 pages in total and advertises the complete offering of Reg Park’s courses, supplements, equipment, photos and clothing line. A valuable resource for any collector of Reg Park paraphernalia.
Enjoy!
