$129.99

This is a massive, string-tied lot of over 25 original, mid-1930s to early-1940s amateur radio club bulletins, laid out to reveal approximately 27 individual pamphlets. The vast majority of the collection consists of International Short Wave Radio, the official publication of the International Short Wave Club (ISWC) headquartered in East Liverpool, Ohio. The lot spans a fascinating pre-WWII timeframe, featuring issues from 1935 through to the historically significant months of November and December 1941. The bundle also includes at least one rare issue of Short Wave Reporter published by the Quixote Radio Club.Key Selling Points for Buyers:Pre-WWII & Pearl Harbor Era Context: The inclusion of November and December 1941 issues provides an incredible snapshot of global shortwave listening and international broadcasting right as the United States entered World War II.Niche Technical Data: These pamphlets contain practical content for vintage ham operators, DXers, and broadcasting historians, including "Accurate Station Lists," "Hourly Tuning Guides," and specific frequencies for early police, aircraft, and international stations. The Quixote Club issue highlights "Telegraph Frequency Markers" and "Broadcast Schedules".Scarcity: While mainstream 1930s magazines like QST or Radio Craft are relatively common, independent, localized club publications like the ISWC and Quixote Radio Club bulletins are incredibly scarce. Finding a consecutive or semi-consecutive run of this size from a single estate is extremely rare.Instant Collection: Selling this as a thick, untouched, string-tied lot appeals heavily to antique radio restorers and ephemera collectors looking to instantly populate a vintage radio shack display or conduct historical broadcast research.Condition DescriptionAcceptable to Good vintage condition. This is a substantial uncollated bundle containing approximately 27 issues. The paper exhibits the heavy, uniform age-toning and tanning expected from 1930s newsprint and pamphlet material. Many issues show typical edge wear, chipping, light corner creasing, and minor staple rust. Several front covers bear faint pencil notations indicating page numbers. Despite the wear, the bundle remains firmly intact, and the cover text and intricate radio tower graphics are perfectly legible. Related Items:
