Steph Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Check this out: the cover of Country Gentleman, March 1937. At Curtis Publishing, CG 1930's. If I understand correctly, Curtis Publishing was also responsible for the Saturday Evening Post. They show a small pic of the Sept. 2, 1939 Norman Rockwell Marbles Champion cover. You can get to that from this page, SEP 1930's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 ROFL. That's hilarious, Sue. Is the date April 1? There was another Country Gentleman cover with marble players. March 1923, Grandpa Goes Knuckles Down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 No... That would've been cool, though!! It's April 3, 1939... I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 No... That would've been cool, though!! It's April 3, 1939... I wonder why? If the Curtis site is correct, there was a real April 1 issue. So, they couldn't use that any more than they could use the Sept. 2? I dunno. Well, the year is right and it's a conversation piece. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Now, about Grandpa there ... I don't think he's just any old man. If I read Akronmarbles.com correctly, that's supposed to be Sam Dyke on his knee in the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
