Back when these magazines were made, what else were you to use? I don't know when Bakelite or aluminum were available, but it surely was not available in sufficient quantities, if at all. Steel would be too heavy and more difficult to work and I'm sure that weight was a consideration. Later on, then Bakelite and aluminum were used, due in part to wood scarcity.
Now, I've already told you more than I know.
