Date Sold 12/13/2012Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Paperbacked Magazine Cover (measures 10 1/2" x 14") (Learn More) Boys' Life, the magazine "For All Boys". It was first published in 1911, but in 1912, it was purchased by the Boy Scouts of America, and became their official publication. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was circulated to teenage boys throughout the United States, whether or not they belonged to the Boy Scouts. Many of the top writers of those years wrote for the magazine, because it had a 2,000,000 circulation. Many issues would have full-color comic strips within the issues. Artist: Norman Rockwell Important Added Info: Note that this paperbacked magazine cover is from a collection that was consigned to us by a man who collected the covers of these magazines only (of course choosing the ones with the absolute best art!), and he had all of them professionally paperbacked, which not only presents them far better, but which makes them extremely easy to frame and enjoy (not only are these works of art by famous artists of the early to middle 20th century, but they also are very nostalgic, showing America when it was growing from a minor country to the leading world power, and any of them look great framed on a wall!). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the cover had tiny border defects. Overall, the cover was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the cover "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting.
