I don't know the answer, but is the first one this: http://www.comics.org/issue/227306/#829545 ?

It doesn't list the artist, but it says the year was 1952.

You can see if we have that story at this link -
http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=663
Hit Preview and it should start on pg 13

And a direct link to the story should start here-
http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/preview/index.php?did=662&page=13

I can't help on the others.

The Grand Comic Database will let you search by story titles too -
http://www.comics.org/   and change the radio button beside 'Series Name' to 'Story Title'.

Good luck!

Hmmm, this is a mystery to me!
It's hard to see what is going on in your Indians cover (there was no #25 btw).
You can see a gallery for all their 17 issues at this link and I don't see any with what looks like a sunset cover that you plate shows.

Sorry for putting them up one at a time, due to file size i can only do it this way, if i went smaller would lose too much quality

Hi Rob,
This one is clearly a reprint of FH's INDIANS #15 which you can see here -
http://images.comics.org//img/gcd/covers_by_id/208/w100/208736.jpg?-4187532958662699293

I can also see a foreign price stamp of 8d which makes it British or Australian.
I'm having trouble making out the publisher name in your scan.

So Yoc, they were a bit of a mishmash, the reprints were not neccessarily in any order

What currency does the did the states have in that era 1940-50?

here in oz its D i think ?
ie indians 6d

If I'm understanding your question the USA has had the same currency for a pretty darn long time so it's dollars and cents as it is today.
The FH originals were sold for 10cents each as it says on the cover links I included earlier.
