"SR" writes (after this was posted):

"I had many copies of Tip Top from 60s on into the early 70s. Their motto was 'From the tips of their toes to the tops of their hose'. You can just make it out in the photo. It was a leg/stocking/lingerie oriented magazine, and at least in the copies I had, was a smaller than normal format, about 4 x 8 or 5 x 10. Very few if any big name models, but a true dedication to legs/stockings which meant, because of the era, many many petticoats.

Nothing hard core, very glamour/fetish oriented. Mine are long gone. I wish I had 1/10th of the magazines I've bought over the years, especially from the 60s."

(BELOW) "This is a Mercury ad I discovered in a magazine. It really intrigues me, as it reminds me of earlier
days when I would actually drive around (late at night-thank God I didn't get pulled over) in pettis."
