The List that I have, which has many more than these 20, was passed on to me many Years ago and I believe that they are all from the 1930's. So there will be no Modern names.

Joxville you have some right and I have Listed all you posted and the correct ones are in Bold and Also in Blue. The others are incorrect to my source.
