First editions of 25 original issues of the Perfect Circle Piston Ring company's in-house magazine which was mailed to auto suppliers, and dealers across the country. Often featuring in-depth historical transportation articles, these were mixed with cheesecake pin-up photos of comely models, and other auto and aviation business news. Founded originally in 1894 as a bicycle manufacturer by Charles Teetor, the company moved to manufacturing small gas engines after 1895, and by 1918 had become the Indiana Piston Ring Company. Perfect Circle was adopted by the company in 1926 with Dan Teetor in charge, eventually becoming the undisputed leader in piston ring technology for aircraft, automobiles, and ships through World War II.
