We are fortunate to have a large collection of early bobby publications
dating back to the 1930's. Most of the publications in our collection
were a gift from our old friend, Lionel Carter.
Carter, along with hobby legends, Preston Orem, Gene Angeley, Bob Thing
Wirt Gammon and Buck Barker were regular contributors to the Sports Hobbyist.
The magazine was published six times a year between 1957 and 1962.
L.A. Isenberg was the original editor and that position was later assumed
by Charlie Brooks. We do find any issue where Frank Nagy is listed as
the publisher
Earlier this year we shared a rare article Barker article on the Delong Set.
Here are some other thought provoking articles from hobby pioneers
