America's Hobby Center Advertisement
January 1962 American Modeler

January 1962 American Modeler Cover - Airplanes and Rockets

These pages from vintage modeling magazines like Flying Aces, Air Trails, American Modeler, American Aircraft Modeler, Young Men, Flying Models, Model Airplane News, R/C Modeler, captured the era. All copyrights acknowledged.

This particular advertisement by America's Hobby Center is from pages 8 & 9 of the January 1962 issue of American Modeler magazine. I can remember looking at all the cool stuff crammed into their ads, with the barely readable print, and salivating over the thought of being able to buy all of it. America's Hobby Center is no longer in operation. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

Use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculator to see what items cost in today's dollars. For instance, that $11.95 "Veco .19 R/C" would be $91.12 in 2013 money.
