These are the two best photos IMO.  Bit of moisture damage but still historically significant I'd think.  Love the train photo - body language is great there.  There were about 40 photos, mostly Mussolini.  That's him coming out of the Savoia-Marchetti SM-79.

Body building mags are pretty crazy.  There were about 50 of them from late 40s to early 50s.  Again, if only comics.

Good Lord, can you imagine the value of those if they were unseen originals?

I assume LUCE was the magazine they were printed in?

Amazing find - and eclectic to say the least!

Yeah, looked that up. ThaNKS.

Very 'cool' - if that's the word for 2 mass murderers posing together - but I hope you know what I mean.

 

You feeling better Dude? :wishluck:

I don't believe this is related to the Time / Life Luce family but was "L’Unione Cinematografica Educativa"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istituto_Luce

 

Here's the sister image that I found while doing some research.  I prefer the facial expressions on mine but find the background Nazi soldiers interesting in the Archive photo.

Here's the back of the two Hitler photos.

I've said this before and again, you're a buying machine!  How good are you at turning over some of this stuff, I believe you were setting up at cons before covid, are you selling online now?

Thanks....Between my job as an educator and a comic entrepreneur...doesn't leave me much free time....lol

Before covid would do 25-30 comic conventions a year....so would move a bunch that way plus have several buyers for bulk that I don't want to deal with.

This year...different for sure.  Have done 5 shows since covid....1 each in June, July, August and 2 last weekend (Sat & Sun).  All little shows with no big multi-day shows planned in the near future.

Because of fewer shows have adapted to more online (Facebook and eBay) sales....

All said and done I don't know really how good I am at turning stuff over when there are 1000+ long boxes cluttering up everywhere....and usually by the time I dig through the stacks to find that "hot" book which has popped it's 10 minutes of fame is over....:insane:

NOW....a true buying & selling machine is Earl Shaw....that man finds (and sells) more than anyone I know....Legendary!!
