I've read about half of those stories. I recall only "Old Hundredth", but I
recall it well.

I've not read this volume, unless there was an edition of it without the illustrations. Nevertheless, I recall several of these stories, no doubt from other reprintings.

"Something Invented Me" doesn't seem to have been reprinted elsewhere, but the invention sounds familiar, (I don't see the invention described here, it must have also appeared in another column) a early, more labor-intensive version was in Chapter 5 of Gulliver's journey to Laputa.

Merril was pretty good at spotting stuff that would stay in print. I
would check to see how Dozois compares but his books are behemoths
and that would be too much work....
