AMERICAN COLLECTORS Magazine, Collectors Weekly

Collectors Weekly a great website for collectors

is putting out articles online of a magazine about

collecting from the 30's 40's call American Collector www.collectorsweekly.com

American Collector was a beautiful and high

quality magazine published in the 1930s and

40s for people interested in antiques and collecting.

Because of the great research that went into

this magazine, we’ve decided to put

as many of the articles online as possible as

a reference for today’s collectors.

The magazine ceased publication in 1948,

at the start of the postwar boom, when people

were turning to new consumer products and losing

interest in antiques.

January and February 1943 editions of American Collector Magazine

We’re interested in learning more about the history of

this magazine. If you know anyone still living who

worked there (it was based in NYC) in the 1930s or 40s,

we’d be interested in talking with them and perhaps doing

an interview with them.

Also, we’re still missing some back issues, and would

be interested in hearing from you if you have them.

Specifically, all the issues up through Sept. 1937, most

of 1938, and much of 1944-46.

If you have these and would be willing to let us borrow

and scan them, please contact us… thanks!

(Note that a different, and unrelated, American Collector magazine was published briefly in the late 1970s.)
