Some neat reading materials scored. - 8/28/2011 9:26:19 PM    MIdigger   Posts: 767 Joined: 3/3/2010 Status: offline Of course from the rummage sales. Got 3 nice "Life" magazines the ads are really interesting pg-8 Spur cola ad 5cents, Orange nesbitts 5 cents. Great medical ads. I got them because of WW2 (1942-43 vintage). Insteresting finds.

So is Saturday evening post as well as many other family type "weeklys." I treasure my own collection of National Geographics dating back to 1916 with only a couple issues missing in the 95 year run. I also have a S/L of Popular mechanics and Popular Science magazines 40's, 50's and 60's.....lots of cool stuff in those. (in reply to MIdigger) Post #: 2

Plus I liked reading the WW2 stories. There was a write up in one on Doolittles raid on Japan. Those old ones you have would make interesting reading!. (in reply to DIGGIN DOC) Post #: 3

Those older magazines can be pretty informative. I also love the vocabulary the writers and advertisers would use,and what was considered newsworthy "back in the day". Nice find MI!

He sold them to a collector for $1500 a few weeks ago. One edition, where Hitler was the "Person of the Year", was worth several hundred on its own! _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ! Also Manahawkin NJ! Message me if you want to find them a new home. (in reply to ironmountain) Post #: 5
