I thought 50 was an "L" and 10 was an "X" 2 X=20, V = 5 and 2 I =2 for a total of 27 MCM is 19 of course.

Copy right date is 1927....This is a reprint...If you check the following page it gives you all the dates of the different reprints! So, for this one, it sold for 49 cents!!...So...My guess would be 1970s?? Maybe late 1960s?? Any one else want to jump in for comments? Still a nice book and I bid on it to!!

Sorry Mike but I know my paper products pretty good and if this one is from the 60's or 70's there is no notation anywhere in the book and this book came from a stack of other books that were from the early to mid ( latest book was from 1955 in the stack of books it came from). I have been wrong before on exact year or decade but rarely am I off several decades. Been sniffin' the printed page for 40+ years now. I always appreciate input so please know that and thank you.

Well that is better anyway, you can not only read but enjoy the art as well.

I've been getting buzzed on musty comic book newsprint since he early 60's too! I've collected books my whole life too! I like these series books, all kinds, I'm always looking for all kinds of odd stuff! Especially any with dust jackets like the old Hardy Boys or Tom Swift series. Any horror & sci-fi from the 30's-70's, not so much comics anymore, getting too hard to read them with my old eyes! take care!
