Thank you for these two lost episodes. Are there any more?

Thank You BobbyP. Couple of great shows. Brings back childhood memories.

Sadly, no. At least, not now.

Thanks, Bob!

Coincidentally, yesterday I was finally able to conclusively date an Aldrich episode that has been making the rounds with several wrong alternate identifications.  I believe it commonly circulates as "Legal Problems", with dates of either 1943-03-11 or 1944-03-16.  In actuality it should be dated 1942-02-26.  Here is an incredibly well detailed clip from the Shreveport, LA Times for that date, followed by a link to the recording in a mediocre encode:

Thanks, kdmarket... the correct date on that one should be 1945-02-02.  Completedayman made a strong pass on this series here back in 2013.  From the Mason City, IA Globe-Gazette (unclear why the image is truncated, but you get the gist):

kschriever thanks for the help

Since we are on the subject of shows that have incorrect dates or no known dates, does anyone know the date for the episode "Cleaning the Furnace"? I sounds like it's from around 1940, because Henry's Friend is Toby, just a little bit before Jackie Kelk joined the cast as Homer. Any ideas?

I've got a date of 1940-11-07 on that one. The newspaper reviews read, "Henry shovels coal, father burns," and "Henry contracts to fire furnaces."

1943-03-11 should be the episode sometimes circulating as "Warmest Day in March" or similar. Some plot summaries from the press:

Lima, OH News:
The Aldrich Family gets in a tangle on account of the weather and Henry goes picnicking while his sister Mary plans a sleighride Thursday (WEAF, 8:30 p. m. EWT). Lawyer Sam Aldrich, father of the family, is caught midway in the dilemma by an attempt at forecasting temperatures and is rewarded with a cold in the head.

Wisconsin State Journal:
Father's weather forecast results in Henry going picnicking while Mary plans a sleigh ride.

Homer's Surprise Party is 1946-10-03: "Henry Aldrich tangles the reins when he tries to steer pal Homer to a surprise party. Homer's premature disappointment at having no fanfare made about his birthday turns him into a gloomy lad indeed. What he doesn't know - and Henry does - is that there's a surprise party in store for him at the Aldrich house."

I haven't found a date for the graffiti episode yet.

I don't believe those are in general circulation among collectors.

BobbyP, can you please reoffer your previously uncirculated episodes?
