c. 1910s-1920s; Street & Smith Publications – New York, USA This lot includes eight vintage dime novels from the Merriwell series, written by Burt L. Standish and published by Street & Smith. The Merriwell stories, first appearing in the late 19th century, followed the adventures of Frank Merriwell, a model of sportsmanship and integrity, and later his younger brother Dick.

Titles in this lot include: • Frank Merriwell’s Skill • Frank Merriwell’s Treasure Hunt • Dick Merriwell’s Game to the Last • Dick Merriwell’s Rescue • Dick Merriwell’s Cool Nerve • Dick Merriwell’s Decision • Dick Merriwell’s Motor King • Dick Merriwell’s Reliance • Dick Merriwell’s Tussle Each features a colorful illustrated cover typical of the pulp and dime novel format.
Condition varies with age toning, edge wear, and minor losses, though all remain intact and legible.
