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.
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.)
