Don Hallock has put out a listing of peoples magazines for many, many years. Recently he and I were talking and he mentioned some Simson numbers that were not in the simson book. One of those numbers was 542. I thought, that number seems familiar. Then in contacting the owner of #542, he was less than 20 miles from where I am working! I talked to him on the phone and he told me about the magazine. It was restamped years ago, he felt by the police. I made arrangements to see him this weekend, took 3 or 4 simson magazines with me as a possible trade. Here it is, and yes, we traded straight across.

Good trade?
Foolish since it is a restamp?
What in the world is that "L" ???

My 1925 dated Simson, serial number 542...
