Spotting old books and magazines and dummy newspapers in TV, movies and old photos

[Extollager]

Just above some McCall's mags. This is the Dec. 1938 issue of Golden Fleece. Who today under 40 would know what "golden fleece" was supposed to suggest?

I can't quite make out the title of the sports fiction pulp between it and Amazing.

This one maybe:

December Redbook was easy...

Strangely, it was the Dec. 1967 Redbook that published Tolkien's Smith of Wootton Major... 55 years ago. I'm sure that's a collectible magazine now.

The Western Story next to The Golden Fleece perhaps:

Gets my vote, Dask.

Here's the Sept. '38 Poultry Tribune.

Two movie magazines to the left of True Story:

I love the improvised (?) weapon the heroine is wielding - looks like a mini-dragon-onna-stick...

Looks like all the mags are here:

I now regret posting it so deleted it. I did enjoy snooping around. Hopefully not too many got a look at it.

 

[Extollager]

It was fun, though, tracking down so many of those. I hope, though, for some more screen images before long!

Spoilsport!

Sorry. Poor judgment on my part. Not going to do it in the future. I deleted my link too late. Sorry again.
