1955 Skye Publications Premium Photos
These colorful premiums each measure 8-3/8" x 10-7/8" and are printed on magazine paper stock with blank (white) backs. These were acquired in their original envelope which had been postmarked in 1955 and mailed from Jalert Sales Co., 270 Park Avenue, New York 17, NY. In the posted area is the notation "Ask for Skye Publications at your newsstand," thus the label 1955 Skye Publications Premium Photo.

So while we can't say for sure that these premiums had all been previously used as cover photos, we would gather that they were used in the magazine as pin-ups at least. And thanks to Mr. Hemphill, we now know that Skye Publications is associated with Screen Life Magazine.
