It's Show and Tell time! Head over to Kelli's and check out what others have shared!
My show and tell for this week is some old books I bought at an antique mall today.
They are:
Treasure Island - It doesn't have a copyright but someone wrote in it "Christmas 1947" so i'm guessing the copyright is somewhere around that date.
The Secret of hte Golden Pavilion A Nancy Drew Mystery-Copyrighted in 1959
Trixie Belden and the Red Trailer Mystery - Copyrighted in 1950
Trixie Belden and the Mysterious Visitor - Copyrighted in 1954
and
The Bobbsey Twins in the Land of Cotton - Copyrighted in 1942
Can't wait to start reading them!

P.S Forgot to say that the Nancy Drew, the Bobbsey Twins and Treasure Island books were $5 and the Trixie Belden books were $3 (each). :-D Quite a deal to be old!

I love old books. Those look like they'll be fun to read...LOL There are only a couple of them that were copyrighted before I was born. I'm as old as most of your books!
Great books - I loved reading Nancy Drew.
Great books! I remember reading Trixie Belden and the Bobbsy Twins in the 70's. How fun!

What a neat collection!
My daughter loves Trixie Belden books. I am sure you will enjoy reading them.
Thanks for sharing

Wow! You found one of the Nancy Drew books that I am missing from my collection :)
Wonder how much you paid for it? I have seen some that are very high priced. Great collection you bought!
I love old books and you found some treasurers.

Check these out!!
(I have a Bobbsey Twin one two...)
You did get a great deal for 5 bucks. That is so neat that those same two titles have different stories. I never knew that and will have to see if I can find both copies. I have a duplicate of the Secret of the Old Clock but I see you already have that one. I also have the Clue in the Jewel box that has the gray cover(not the yellow). I read every one when I was a child and also the Hardy Boys. I guess I should try to complete my old set too :)
Great books, great deal on them too!

Hi Jamie! Thank you for coming by my HSB blog! :) Also thank you for the complements. I'm glad you like it! I like your blog background. Is that the one you'r going to stick with? LOL, I don't think I have ever met anyone who had a hard time picking a background template. :) Do you know yet if you still have that skirt anywhere? Thanks again for coming by!
