Original 1920 pulp issue of Fame and Fortune Weekly, No. 773, dated July 23, 1920, published by Frank Tousey.
These early dime-novel-style financial adventure stories are extremely scarce, especially with cover intact.
Featured lead story:
“Frank Fisk, The Boy Broker; or, Working the Wall St. Stock Market”
by “A Self-Made Man.”
Classic early 20th-century Wall Street adventure fiction, complete with dramatic cover art and period ads on the back pages.
Condition:
Fragile (as expected for 100+ year-old pulp). Brittle paper, spine wear, tears, chips, and some missing portions. Still readable. Cover present. Sold as-is for collectors, display, or research.
These issues were printed on low-grade newsprint and rarely survive — excellent piece of financial + pulp fiction history.
Ships carefully protected.

These “dime novel” pulps were aimed at boys and were printed on super cheap acidic paper, so most disintegrated. Surviving issues — even rough ones — are collectible.
