JDMvW Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Doesn't this belong in the classified ad section? If it's just a list, the values are way high by selling prices on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James G. Dainis Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I wonder what the sg$ was worth back in 1952 in USA dollars. It is hard to tell if those prices were high, low or normal compared to USA prices in 1952. James G. Dainis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
