Hobbies Magazine, launched in 1931, for many years carried a numismatic section. Typically six or eight pages, columnists included Frank C. Ross, Thomas Elder, Charles French, and others.The Elder columns are particularly rich, with reminiscences of Elder's early days found nowhere else. The Newman Portal has scanned the numismatic sections of Hobbies for the period 1949 to1977.

We have access to a run from 1931 to 1941 and are searching for the remainder. Readers who might wish to loan copies may contact Newman Portal Project Coordinator Len Augsburger atleonard.augsburger@wustl.edu. Many thanks to Pioneer Communications, publisher of Treasures (the successor to Hobbies) who kindly granted permission to present this material on NewmanPortal.
