I suspect the magazine that is two to the left of "Ranch Romances" is Complete Love Magazine V15 #1, July 1945.   I have images of all the other issues from that era and they're not matches.

It is, indeed. I caught that last night after I posted the color graphic above. I'll start working on the other covers during the rest of today and post an update sometime later tonight. Keep 'em coming!

BTW, that Ziggy Pig sure made the rounds! I think he's on at least three-four covers.

I think you're correct! Thanks, that's another one I was really trying to figure out last night.

The "Boys" magazine by the "Pep" comic on the top shelve is one I can't locate. I am thinking it looks more like a magazine than a comic. I can't turn up anything with Google so far.

At the bottom right of the picture, by the "Captain Marvel Adventures," there is what appears to be a book and it seems to read "(something) helicopters." Right beside it is another publication that seems to read "Boys and Girls (something, something, something)." Another publication of some sort also seems to be lying atop that mag.

Edited to note: I just realized... On that "Boys and Girls" mag is a picture of Captain Marvel! That will narrow down the search, somewhat.

Edited again: That did the trick... I found it! It's a "Flying Marvels" activity book! Now to figure out the other book on top of it!

They really fly!  Based solely on the cool art and that promise, I definitely would have wanted one of those when I was about eight.

Yeah Matt, that one's killin' me. I went after Boys' Life but it was a dead end.
