Chosen Answer:

The only thing I can suggest is going to a bookstore to find a catalog of antique magazines. If there is such a thing, you should be able to find out what they are worth to a collector. You could also try contacting the Antique Road Show online to see if they know of someone close to you who knows anything about them. The final option would be to contact your insurance agent for your home owners insurance and see if they know of anyone who could appraise something like that for you.

Go to eBay and type in Joseph Weider and see what is out there. Maybe you can find similar items and you can get an idea of what your stuff might be worth. He was a body builder so if you can’t find anything about him, try some other early body builder to try to get an idea of value.
