My mother in law recently passed away. In her belongings my wife found a 1st edition copy of Comrades at play, an illustrated children's book published by WB Conkey Co. in 1897. It is signed by someone that we cannot distinguish. Can anyone give us any info on this book? Possible worth? Thanks, Bruce
