I have this old copy of Huckleberry Finn.
The copyright on the inside indicates that it was from 1912 by Clara Gabrilowitsch. I did some research on her. She has a middle name of Clemens. The book has 405 pages. Red cloth cover. It was printed by Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York and London.
I looked all over and I cannot find an exact match to this book.
Has anyone ever seen such a copy of this great novel?

Sold for 10.00 Dave
I bought the same book at an estate sale last weekend for 2 bucks... Its listed on ebay "buy it now" price at 60. I picked up the book more for it's collectible appeal and the recent scrutiny the originals have produced due to the overuse of the "n" word. I doubt it's really worth much now but in time I see it's value increasing.
