Woodworker Magazine from July 1943

Good find, $2.50 was alot of money back then, my father in law gave me his collection of Woodsmith and shop notes, only went back to the 80s, not vintage yet but alot of good info projects.

It is interesting, when you look at all the older publications, (pre 1990’s) you don’t see any web site addresses.

Not woodworking magazines, but I have a very interesting Saturday Evening Post. My birth date is 8-28-1948 and the cover date on this magazine is the same. What is even stranger is the cover story is about the Skowhegan (Maine) State Fair – both of my folks and their families are from Skowhegan. How odd is that!!!

I have picked up a couple along the way I think one was in the early 40s also. I have complete collections of about 5 different woodworking magazines they take up a lot of room so I don’t know were I put the oldies .

Many thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond; I’m glad that I’m in good company in my enjoyment of old publications!
