Bravo!
Mr Z, I find it interesting that you, and I had the opportunity to play around with the old monster printing press of that time.
Me, one year at my jr high school in 1944, just 35 years from the actual printing of that set.
You, your two years at high school.
I don't know about you, but the thought of that printing monster still scares the hell out of me.
Which leads to my printing question of that set.
Like the King in "The King and I" said, "It's a puzzlement?"
We all know about the the Magie spelling error. ... right?
It was caught, and corrected. ... one, ein, uno error.
Then we have the Doyle wrong League error. ... right?
It was caught faster, and corrected. ... well, sort of.
What they did was to omit the League all together.
Technically speaking, what we have here is a commited error, and an error of omission. ... two, zwie, dos errores.
Ted, from what I recall, it didn't take that long to replace the type in a plate.
Could there be a corrected -- Doyle NY Amer. -- out there?
