Canned frogs.
Giant GAY frogs!!!
Why didn't frog legs catch on? Taste like chicken I hear. Hypnotoad?
Can you get to popular mechanix archive (old issues) ONLINE? Popular Science USED to have a free one.
Quite a few of the old classic ones before it became whatever the fuck it is today. They have improved the search on Archive. Lot of filter options.
And: Frog legs can be quite tasty. I have had them at restaurants and out camping as a kid. The frogs we could get were mostly pretty skinny leopard frogs. You snap them off at the waist and do both legs.
Thanks! That site is similar to the one I found years ago (then lost between computer purchases (after failure)).
NEVER seen them at a restaurant.
Frog Legs is a Southern thing mostly, although that isn't where I grew up or the area I first had them at a restaurant. I had some in Houston that were phenomenal.
You may want to bookmark this one as well. Another archive site that specializes in prewar mags:
"We can teach you to mount birds"
Good luck with that one.
Bird Sex
The squirrel lighter is epic. Just imagine what level of REEE the PETA faggots would reach if you ran an ad like that today. I actually did one of these mail order taxidermy course/kits. Late 70's. Pretty similar ads. Did some birds and a couple fish. Heads. A pike and a large mouth bass.
I was actually eyeing the little crystal radio set in the upper right corner. Tinytone made some innovative looking products back in the day that influenced the look and design of later transistor portables.
I saw that as well. There are a few ads for those types of radio in this mag.
