Thats so old, people were using RPLs back then, Ancient fly rod of times past...nothing like this to remind you of good fishing/camping times...eons ago it appears...I'm starting to age myself by rods. The RPL rod era was damn good days!!! I would include Winston but I never even thought of lifting that rod in fear of seeing the price tag on it, back then dont touch what you cant afford...😜. Couldnt affors the RPL either. Why I had a Berkeley Cherrywood 7/8 glass with Japanese reel combo from the great Pay-N-Pak hardware store. But the RPL and Winston were kinda the king rods back then that I recall.
These magazines/reading material you have ...have secrets. maybe you shoud just keep them. ;)

I threw away all my hunting and fishing magazines when I last moved, it filled our rolling recycle bin, hundreds, still kicking myself for that. I love flipping through old magazines.

Just seeing the flies from years ago would bring back great memories.

Today's flies have a heritage from some great tyers back then.

Any bets old school flies will out fish Today's purple, foam bodied, plastic winged, flies?

USPS Flat Rate Priority boxes are pretty reasonable, no weight limit. About the price of a half rack of beer now :unsure:

Magazines don’t qualify for media mail rates. I doubt you’ll find anything cheaper than the usps flat rate boxes if you’re dealing with a quantity of magazines.

I wonder what they would cost to ship. I would love to take them.
I think the shipping would be quite costly as magazines are quite heavy, maybe 35lbs..?

I've got a few magazines (~121) myself that I was looking to sell for $50 (as they're quite old) or best offer. As a lot they're quite heavy (~100lbs) to pick up so shipping I feel might be quite costly..
