I’m writing something elsewhere based upon a recipe from a book published in 1960 that calls for frankfurters.  I believe that it would have referred to what was available in some sophisticated urban locale, not in a rural area.  What, of the current franks widely available, would you recommend as being representative of what would have been typical then?  I was alive and eating hot dogs in the home at that time, but I was age 5 for most of that year, and have no recollection of the brands.
 
Thanks!
