Do you have a link to the magazine, if possible? Don't think I've ever heard of it.

I own this copy, but I found it on archive.org as well. It's still in publication.

This was War Time America. There is no metal in it, not even a clasp. I do like the way the flap is held shut, though.

You've probably never heard of it because it's British.
