jim43 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I am thinning out my old car magazines. I have 121 Skinned Knuckles Magazines. Vols. 24, 26, 28, and 29 are complete. Some Vols. have 11 issues and the others less. They go back as far as 1990 and as late as 2008. They are in good condition with a lot of good stuff in them about restoring cars and some history of automotive systems. $100 for all plus the flat rate postage fee from the Post Office. I doubt they would all fit in one box. I will find out the postage. Thanks; Jim43 dstamp4@comcast.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim43 Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hi Tom; I can't say I recall anything about Sylvester Roper, but I might not anyway. They go back years anyway. What was his area of work? That might ring my bell if I have read anything about him. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_in_nh Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Jim,Sylvester Roper was an early automotive pioneer (steam).I am trying to find information on his engines.I am in Derry, stop in if you are in the area.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim43 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hi Tom; I looked Sylvester Roper up in the " Catalog of American Cars 1802-1942" Interesting guy. I wonder if he was related to the " Roper Revolving Shotgun" inventor of the same period. He is the kind of obscure guy they like to put in Skinned Knuckles and always an interesting addition, but I can't recall if he is in there anywhere. There are quite a few to do a manual search. I wonder if there is a master index anywhere. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mochet Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Try here for an index and use the "find" function in your computer. I didn't see anything under Roper, however.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim43 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Phil; Thanks for that handy tip. That really makes them much more useable, though I didn't find Roper either. Thanks: Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim43 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 $20 for postage, I will cover the overage. 121 copies is a lot of inexpensive winter reading. Jim43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_in_nh Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Jim,Would you consider a trade?I have many years of Society of Automotive Historians magazines.Thanks,Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim43 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi Tom; I have never seen those magazines. Could you email me directly and describe them a bit? Do they have pictures generally as magazines do? How many do you have? Off hand, I would say I would be inclined to trade.
