The Aquarium magazine from 1939

[JerseyJay]

At the last NJAS meeting I was lucky enough to get a copy of The Aquarium magazine from November 1939. This issue is very memorable b/c of 2 reasons:

#1) How many people have a copy of good quality, good articles, good ads, aquarium/fish hobby magazine. This is a MINT condition and I only paid $6 for it.

#2) 1939 was the beginning of WW2. It is interesting how in USA live was nice and steady while in Poland / Europe people were killing each other like animals.

Very nice looking edition there. If I ever saw something like that, I'd snap it up in a heartbeat, especially for that price.

LOL, Hir0. Reminds me of the killifish auction I went to this last weekend.

Jay, I will take a few also, I never go to these events, so if you see anything cool, specially SA or CA cichlids issue from early days I would love that (a few is fine).

BTW, speaking of the US Trip, benny, what's happening w/that, you still planning a west coast thing after your Florida business part? I still have that room open

That looks great. Maybe you could scan some of the ads or parts of articles and post them here from time to time. It would be fascinating to learn about 1939 filter technology.
