my grandmother loved all the old detective magazines . . i didn't realize at the time how risque they were! Here's a little history: "By far the most famous publication in the United States by this name was officially The National Police Gazette, although commonly referred to as simply the Police Gazette. It was founded in 1845 by George Wilkes, a journalist and sometime transcontinental railroad booster. The editor for most of the 19th century was Richard K. Fox, an immigrant from Ireland. Ostensibly devoted to matters of interest to the police, it was more often a tabloid-like publication, with lurid coverage of murders, Wild West outlaws, and sport."

The Police Gazette was a common sight in barber shops a century ago. For sports fans it was the first real national sports publication. The old issues are quite collectible.

wow, that was a young Ursula Andress. She went on to become another in the long, long line of sex goddesses. Hate to think she wound up like BB.lol
