Last Saturday I went to a sale and bought a large box of miscellaneous ephemera for $3.00. As I started going through the box this morning, I received quite a surprise.
I found this great 1924, 124 page Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows and Daily Review magazine, price 15 cents.
This is packed full of vintage ads and great pics of the circus. Aside from a cover tear and some cover wear it is in great condition, the inside pages are excellent.
enjoy
great find pack- love it very cool
That magazine is only for that?
How many were published?
Benking,
Yes, it is just for that, the entire magazine. I have no idea how many were published.
Thanks Pack!
It would be interesting to find if that is the ONLY time?
Thank you very much for the kind words vanskyock24
Thank you very much Manikin & stepback_antiques
I have one poster, but can't rember if same image...
Did you find if that was the ONLY publication, yet?
Thank you very much BELLIN68 for the kind words.
These magazines seem to have been running through the 20s and 30s, but are hard to find today. Super-nice find!
Thank you very much lisa & ulfsurfer for the kind words. I have located several from the mid 30's but none quite this old.
I found one from '27 for $50, '28 for $60 and '29 for $75, and one claiming to be from '23 for $85. Not many copies out there though, as I already have mentioned.
On where?
ulfsurfer, thanks for the great info!

BELLIN68, Thank you very much for the kind words, my friend.
You, sir, are the awsome collector. You are the only person I know who can go out to get some fresh air and come back in with a great piece of art glass!!!
And that office, what a great place. It would be difficult for me to concentrate on work with all those wonderful items surrounding me.
Thank you very much for visiting bratjdd, I appreciate it.
Benking, I searched on http://www.vialibri.net and found those copies listed at the large bookselling networks such as abebooks, biblio and alibri. It's the best book/paper/print searching tool out there I think.
Thanks very much Ulfsurfer!
I like that service by you!
Thanks again!
Thank you very much for the love bratjdd & kerry10456.
Thank you very much michelleamieux for stopping by!
Thank you very much AR8Jason & vintagemad
What a find! GREAT piece!! And a beautiful cover! I collect Magic and Circus posters, this magazine is rare, not many of them survived. I would estimate the current value at around $200. Not bad for 3 bucks.
Thank you very much for the kind words zguy2112.
