Gian, I checked my earliest Blackhawk Bulletin (August, 1960), not one Our Gang is listed. As of Spring-Summer 1972, the Silent ones are BARNUM & RINGLING, INC, LITTLE MOTHER, CRAZY HOUSE, FAST FREIGHT, SPOOK SPOOFING & SATURDAY'S LESSON
Next Bulletin (April, 1976) shows MARY, QUEEN OF TOTS, NOISY NOISES, THE OLD GRAY HOSS, RAINY DAYS, UNCLE TOM'S UNCLE, WIGGLE YOUR EARS, BIG BUSINESS, ELECTION DAY, CAT-DOG & CO., plus ads for 49 Super 8 Sound Our Gang shorts
Another listing of July, 1976 has 58 Super 8 Sound Our Gang, no other silents
78 Our Gangs in Super 8 Sound listed by the April, 1978 edition
Think the last few came out between then and about 1984

The Reel Images catalog of 1979 and the Niles catalog n. 72, of 1980, both list the same silent Rascals titles: Baby Clothes Back Stage Big Business Big Show Boys will be Joys Champeen Derby Days Giants vs Yanks Lodge Night Mary, Queen of Tots Shivering Spooks Sundown Ltd Thundering Fleas Uncle Tom's Uncle
For history's sake,the british 1938 Kodascope catalog lists the following 8mm silents: Boys Will Be Boys Buried Treasure The Fourth Alarm Monkey Business Shivering Spooks Fire Fighters Ten Years Old Young Sherlocks Love My Dog Mysterious Mystery Seeing the World No Noise The Champeen Official Officers Its a Bear One Wild Ride Just in case one finds himself in an old abandoned warehouse or in Grandpa's attic,and stumbles on a ,forgotten during the last sixty years, big box full of std eights. In fact I found reel one of No Noise and Walton did release a one reel cutdown titled "Hospital Hi jinks" ,so, by joining reel one and the second part of "Hi jinks",I have a reasonably more "complete" 300 foot print. I have also found about one meter (three feet) from the beginning of DOG DAYS,which Maltin lists as "unavailable"(i.e. lost),which someone used as leader for an amateur travelog of his !!! So this one exists also in std 8.
