Good MorningThe first Shas printed in the new world was printed in 1913 in New York. It was published by the Jewish Morning Journal (Yid. Der Morgen Zhornal) Yiddish daily. Founded in 1901 by the politically conservative and religiously Orthodox publisher Jacob Saphirstein, and edited by Peter Wiernik, the Morning Journal was for years New York City's only morning Yiddish paper. The OCLC Number: 649133691 It is an offset of the Bardichov 1896 edition. The edition you describe is the second shas printed in America, though the 1913 edition went through a second printing in 1917 prior. Hag Urim Sameach,

He told me that the set is from the Council of Rabbis in the United States and Canada, with the earliest volume in his possession from 1919. I believe that the publisher may be the Agudath Harabonim (known in English as the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada (UOR)). Historically, in the late 19th and early 20th century the Talmud had to be imported from Europe at great cost because none were being produced in North America. So while 1919 seems awfully late, it is definitely reasonable that it could be the oldest American printing. Please respond directly by email if you have any information that may be helpful.
