Last Minute Christmas Gift Suggestions From 1936

Just in case anyone needs any last minute gift ideas for yours truly, feel free to pick any of the suggestions from this article in the December 1936 issue of Modern Mechanix, posted on Modern Mechanix.  Most of them would not be out of place under a 21st Century tree.  The tool kit, radio and bicycle are my favorites.
