American Rifleman magazines

skicat

I just bought 34 American Rifleman magazines from 1959- 65
Also included were 3 Outdoor lifes from 1958 and 4 HotRod mags from 1969. Looking through the old ads are a real hoot. New Thompson Drums 2.95 10 for 25.00 Colt 1911s 34.95. Lugers 39.95 Broomhandle mausers 29.95

A friend just called me asking about the value of bound volumes of the magazine. I looked online and saw some being sold for a wide variety of prices. I think his collection goes back into the 40's. Any ideas on what to do with them?

I bought the set from 1952 the year I was born. On ebay for $65.00. If that helps at all.

never know what they will bring. postage stinks on that stuff but they do have a book rate it just takes way longer to get there. List them with all info you have wait.

I find old American rifleman mags and other mags, cut the ads out, frame them, and either hang them in my gun room or sell them on ebarf Some are worth a lot of money, depending on the topic. The Colt Python ad, I sold for 30 bucks. Oakie

I have a couple complete years of Guns & Ammo from the 60's. They bring back some memories when I look through them.

I have January 1966 to date. If that makes me a rich man somebody let me know. [:D]

You can't use book rate for magazines.

I had several years worth stacked up and taking up my limited storage space.

I blacked out my name & address on the covers and dropped them off in the waiting room at my local VA clinic.
