So, Abramo, may I ask how many of the School Bulletin's do you have? I do believe this would be one of the harder sub-categories to try and build a full collection for. It ran from 1919-1975, was for children, and had multiple issues per month (during school year months). To boot, kids used these well, and cut them up, wrote on them, etc. A very challenging quest, for those so inclined! I have some, insofar as I try and get a representative sample of different decades, just for reference and insight.

Scott, thanks for your comment!

That's it, only 42 pieces....I was able to buy them on a garage sale in Hamilton Ontario about 25 years ago...never seem them anymore!

Actually...thanks for the 1919-1975 info...I did not know the life period of this item...do you have different ones?

Can you share your covers by "The Corner" or by email? I can if you want them!

many blessings

Abramo

Hey Abramo,

...well, you could (if you desired) always try Amazon or eBay to acquire more of the School Bulletin. Meanwhile, yes, eventually I can share & show the covers of the ones I have, but right now they are still "buried" up at my storage unit! 

I think you have more than me, all of mine fit (width wise) in one single NGM slipcase. The School Bulletins are a specific item line that I have not hitherto made any effort to obtain, though I am well aware of what they are, etc. The small batch I do have was thrown in as a 'free-bee' when I made a purchase of something else.
