Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I am not familiar with these and found them very interesting.

Very nice assortment of ephemera. I always enjoy looking at these old manuals!

How do you store them? Wondering because I have a small stack of WW1 era magazines that seem to be slowly coming apart on me. How often do you browse through your manuals if at all?

I like these too, although mine are pre-WW2 - I happened to pull them out to look at them this weekend, but hadn't gotten around to it.

I have mine in quart sealed food baggies, then in a larger usps shipping bag.

Most secure place to store them would be in a locked garage with your Corvette.

I have some old natgeo magazines and some old documents as well. I try to keep them in airtight sealed baggies as well, I also keep many in the plastic document holders (like they put collectible paper money in) If they fit. For the same purpose.

I like to use archival polyester envelopes. They are available from Gaylord, or you might be able to find them at an office supply, photo, or hobby store. Sorry about the glare in the photo, I didn't take time to set up good lighting.

Thank you. In 65+ years of chasing after this stuff I got lucky once in a while.
