As a kid in the 1950s I read a series of books similar to 'The Hardy Boys';
another boy detective stories.

Can someone please remind me of who they were?

Thanks

1. There was another teenage brother "detective" series

but I can't remember the name.

There was also Nancy Drew and Judy Bolton and the Alfred Hicthcock and the boys mysteries.

And Ted Scott Flying Stories.

4. I remember (I believe) the Jupiter Jones series, as presented by Alfred Hitchcock.

2. Encyclopedia Brown?

That didn't come out until 1963, though.

There's also Nancy Drew, but that was a 'girl' detective series.

3. All I can think of is "Encyclopedia Brown" but I think that was later.

I think those were more in the 1960s.

7. Three Investigators?
