[ILL-L] A needle in a haystack question for the list - Elle Magazine from 1954?

Hi all,

Actually it's more of a plea than a question...

I have a patron who is looking for a copy of the Decembre 1954 issue of Elle
magazine (the Paris edition) - specifically pages 62-65 of issue #467.  My
borrowing staff has searched high and low for this on WorldCat, but it
doesn't seem anyone was systematically collecting this magazine until the
60's and 70's and those institutions reporting holdings for the 1950's have
all come up blank.

I checked the catalogs at the Bibliotheque Nationale, but even accounting
for my terrible French I can't seem to find any holdings predating 1980.

Can anyone out there help?  It's times like this that you wish WorldCat had
"Grandmother's Attic" as a possible search location...   :)

Thanks,
