Description

This rare trio of early 20th-century poultry publications offers a glimpse into a niche yet fiercely devoted corner of American agricultural history: the world of game birds and cockfighting. Included are issues from The Feathered Warrior (1909), The Derby Game Bird (August 1915), and Grit and Steel (March 1934), each packed with historic ads, breeder profiles, and fiercely proud roosters gracing the covers.

Whether you're a collector of ephemera, a student of rural Americana, or just fascinated by vintage subcultures, this set is a treasure trove of forgotten passion and publication design. Expect foxing, wear, and fantastic typefaces. These papers are well over a century old and still clucking.
