Here's a February 1955 issue of One Magazine, published in Los Angeles, listed on EBay for $9.99. One Magazine began in 1953 and was declared obscene by the Postal Service, resulting in a landmark 1st Amendment ruling.

The cover of that 'obscene' magazine seems to be in the style of Don Bachardy.

Without the challenge to the postal service, Hugh Heffner wouldn't be a name we know today.
