For what it's worth, here's a page that summarizes copyright terms in the US: <http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/training/Hirtle_Public_Domain.htm>. I have not asked any lawyers competent in copyright law about it's accuracy. The table suggests that works published before 1977 WITHOUT a copyright notice (which is specifically described in the law, so any old notice won't do) MAY be public domain. As usual, I expect plenty of heat and little light from copyright discussions.
