Very unique, interesting to see what happens 70 years ago.

Deeanna Franklin Campbell September 19 2023

It was an 80th birthday gift for my dad. He loved it. Wonderful trip down memory lane. The paper is very fragile and turning the dry pages takes great care, but that just helped with the authenticity and magic of the look into the past. Thanks!

Well preserved and presented newspaper.

The communication as far as tracking was great. The site doesn't show you exactly what the paper you selected looks like, so that makes the whole thing a guessing game of sorts. My mother received her newspaper from 1945. She appreciated the ability to "touch" history, but the smell of the paper was almost unbearable. Be warned; sensitive noses may not be able to stand the smell of this product!

    Thank you for your review.

    We are sorry to hear of your disappointment.

    The newspaper you have received is the original newspaper from that day in 1945, we do advertise that we sell original newspapers therefore due to the nature of the product and the storage process they will not arrive as a new newspaper would from today.

    As your product is over 78 years old, over time newspapers will age as they are genuine originals from that time and as part of the aging process they become fragile and dis-coloured thus giving it a tea stained effect, they also become brittle which is why we use archive tape where we can to reinforce the spine, the middle of the newspaper where it is folded and on areas which may deteriorate from excessive use but as you can appreciate, we cannot prevent deterioration we can only keep it in a humid environment which is why there maybe a musky smell.

    Please accept our apologies for any inconvenienced caused.

    Kindest Regards
    The Historic Newspapers Team

A wonderful well preserved and presented item
