scans: The Billboard 1936-10-24, 1937-05-29, 1937-07-24, 1940-12-14

Here is another batch of the billboard scans by F-T-BScans. These were all gifted by Mike of The Church Of The Silverball back at Ontario Pinfest.  These are very large, very old, and quite brittle, so I am quite appreciative that we even get the scans. As they are marked on the Internet archive, there is some damage and some pages might be missing. But what is inside is a treasure trove of high resolution coin-op advertisements. Plus, if you are into music and/or circuses.

This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary school, declaring trans life to be child abuse, and banning trans people from bathrooms.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president who has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked men and shipping them off to concentration camps and notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this American Nazism terror campaign against its own people.

scans: The Billboard 1936-04-11 & 1936-11-28

More of the Billboard magazines I was gifted by Mike at the Church Of The Silverball back at Ontario Pinfest, scanned in by F-T-BScans.

The magazines were all quite brittle and there are some losses, but they provide many hi-res scans of the coin-op pages! Considering the size of the publication the damage/losses are minimal. I have included a number of highlights from each issue below.
