At the very bottom of this ad it says:

"Please mention Popular Science Monthly when answering advertisements in this magazine."

Actually it's in both magazines dated December 1935. I had both up and must have copied it from the Popular Science issue but thought I'd got it from the Popular Mechanics issue. The ad's exactly the same in both except for that last line. Here's the link you can use to see the list and check out the magazines as well as smaller ads for the same set from the 1935 editions of Boy's Life -> Buck Rogers 1935
