jeeperman Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Between the loss of most antique stores in the area and the ones that exist not having what they once did. I have not had much in the way of wild finds for some time. Yesterday I had a photo shoot up north and this gave me a chance to stop in at a small shop that I found an old photograph of children playing marble some 2-3 years ago. Glad I stopped in, not a huge find but it reassured me they are still out there. =} The Magazine is April 1931 and has a short story involving the playing of marbles. Among a few interesting articles of the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I would have gone gaga to find that magazine. I would have been so excited they would have doubled the price on the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeeperman Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 The Graphics have held up well so I was in just for the art. I asked the woman if there was an article. She perused it as I went threw the dollar bucket and she said no article. Well I perused it once home and much to my bonus there was a short story. =} I likely would have bought it had she raised it on the spot, same place I found the original photo that I have posted. I kept my cool and paid marked prices.....maybe I should have haggled. =} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
