Newspaper from 1912 worth $?

Question

We found it in my great grandma's drawer, exellent condition, very neat! I was wondering how much its worth?! please, somebody smart...give me an estimate?

Answer 1

What a wonderful find for your family! However, the paper itself is probably worth somewhere between $20 & $70.  It depends on a lot of things.  What city is the newspaper from? What is the date of the newspaper. Are there important events of the day reported in that newspaper, like the sinking of the Titanic (April 1912)? or other major national or international stories? etc. This could increase the value.

Also, it might have had sentimental value to your great-grandmother because of something contained in it, and thus maybe this value should remain in the family. It might make an interesting family project to figure it out.

Congratulations again on your find, and good luck.
