You are mainly seeking 35mm film containers placed at the base
of a metal post or in a guard rail. However there are a few
magnetic key holders. They are only hidden in areas with wide
shoulders and/or ample parking and they tend to shy away from homes
and businesses. As always, be careful as you hunt them, the world
can be a dangerous place.
Third Edition - Blue /
1927
The Third Edition cover art was by Norman Rockwell. It was
originally a Brown & Bigelow Scout calendar painting, entitled
"Spirit of America" (painted in 1927). It featured the profile of a
Scout in campaign hat and red neckerchief against a blue background
containing the profiles of American heroes (Lincoln, Washington,
Ben Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt, a frontiersman, an Indian, and
Charles Lindbergh, who had just completed his famous flight).
Lindbergh replaced a conquistador between the initial sketching and
final painting.
The silver cover appeared on about 5000 copies of the 21st
printing to commemorate the five-millionth copy of the
Handbook.
The back cover had a US Tire ad in printings 1-5, 12, and 14-32.
The back cover for printings 6-11 and 13 had no ad, but a First
Class badge. There were more than 4,000,000 copies printed.
