Watch List notes:

HOBBY NEWS. Volumes I–II (Jacksonville, 1926–1927), complete, bound in one volume. Ten issues, with a duplicate copy of the first issue bound in. 8vo, contemporary blue cloth, gilt; original printed card covers bound in. Very good or better. The very first issue included "Collecting Half Dollars for the Beginner," by M.L. Beistle, and numismatic content remained a consistent feature. Hobby News merged with Hobbygrams in 1929, for a time adopting the latter's focus on classified ads, but gradually returned to a more article-based publication. Very scarce. Ex Kolbe Sale 21, lot 259; ex M. Bourne Library.
