I acquired a couple of 1934 Children's Playmate magazines last year, and there was something different...
The magazine cover reads "Play Mate Magazine For Boys and Girls."
By 1938, the cover title was changed to Children's Play Mate. Was there a girlie magazine that already laid claim to the Play Mate title? (Playboy Magazine didn't debut until Dec. 1953.) It could have been a simple redesign, and using "Children's" up top certainly cleaned up the cover of excess verbiage.
I misplaced the February issue, so I didn't post on Valentine's Day. But if you plan to hold a party next year, here are invitations and place cards designed by the great Fern Bisel Peat.
What are the chances of finding them in a flea market or online? At least now you can copy and print them out yourself!
