40s pulp vintage sci-fi magazine Astounding Science Fiction, robot cover art

Mid-century vintage, 1940s pulp science fiction magazine, "Astounding Science Fiction" from December, 1947. The cover story for this issue is "Aesop", by Clifford D. Simak. There are also stories by A.E. van Vogt, Alfred Coppel, Jr. and others.

We don't know anything about grading pulp magazines, but this issue does have wear and age. There are ragged edges and small tears to the front cover and a "12 7" in ink on the bottom edge of the pages.
