Mershon and Chatterton Peck printings

The ONLY true 1st edition of the first Bobbsey Twins book MUST BE published by Mershon. 

The ONLY true 1st editions of the second, and possibly third Bobbsey Twins book

MUST BE published by Chatterton Peck. 

Stitt may also have printed the books before Grosset & Dunlap, but as far as I know, no proof of that exists. 

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I will direct you to 2 other pages that go in depth about these printings very well. 

James Keeline's page going over formats, has a great section on these earliest printings. 

Cary Sternick's blog also has some great information about these early printings. 
The scans below are courtesy of Cary, and I appreciate him letting me use them!
