At the start of the show it states that "This is the 50th anniversary of The Tom Mix Ralston Straight Shooters". As the series began in 1933 I am guessing this recreation by Jim Harmon author of the book The Great Radio Heroes and noted writer on the subject of the golden age of radio, was done in 1983. It is a very clean, clear episode.

The original story of The Vanishing Village aired in August 1945 but the original final episode is missing. Curley Bradley appears fifty years on again as Tom Mix to tell you the wind up of The Vanishing Village. 

Thank you Jim Harmon (21 April 1933 – 16 February 2010)
