Sell Your New York Times 1929 Stock Market Crash Newspaper
We sold a New York Times newspaper reporting on the stock market crash of 1929. Please see details below:
“The New York Times” From 30 October 1929 Reporting on “Black Tuesday”, the Stock Market Crash of 1929 With Headline “Stocks Collapse in 16,410,030-Share Day”
“The New York Times” from 30 October 1929 following “Black Tuesday” on 29 October, the panic-fueled day of selling that plunged the United States into the Great Depression. The record of over 16 million shares traded on Wall Street that day wouldn’t be broken until nearly forty years later, and caused a loss of $14 billion dollars in value. “The New York Times” devotes four columns to its headline, “Stocks Collapse in 16,410,030-Share Day, But Rally at Close Cheers Brokers; Bankers Optimistic, to Continue Aid”, with the use of the term “Stocks Collapse” extremely rare in reporting from that time. The coverage is tempered, though, with an almost eerily optimistic tone, clearly lacking the benefit of hindsight: sub-heads include “Leaders See Fear Waning / Point to ‘Lifting Spell’s in Trading as Sign of Buying Activity.” They continue, “Hope Seen in Margin Cuts”, “Sentiment in Wall St. More Cheerful”, “Officials Are Optimistic” and “Bankers Believe Liquidation Now Has Run Its Course and Advise Purchases”. It wouldn’t be until 8 July 1932, however, when stocks bottomed out, although the heaviest sell-off had already happened when this issue hit newsstands. Newspaper is very scarce, as the full impact of the crash and the Great Depression weren’t anticipated at the time, and issue is complete, running 52pp., with coverage of the crash extending through page 7. Paper measures 17.75″ x 22.5″. Expected toning, but overall in very good to near fine condition given the fragility of newspaper, with very little chipping. Sold for $1,500.
The following are some additional newspapers we sold:
Neil Armstrong Signed 21 July 1969 ”New York Times” Newspaper — ”Men Walk on the Moon”
Neil Armstrong signed ”New York Times” Late City Edition newspaper dated 21 July 1969, the day after the Apollo 11 crew successfully landed on the moon. Armstrong signs his name in blue ink above the headline which reads: ”Men Walk on Moon / Astronauts Land on Plain; Collect Rocks, Plant Flag”, with a printed transcript of the first back-and-forth between Eagle and Houston, including those first words uttered by Armstrong as the lunar module landed: ”Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” Edition includes various stories detailing the mission and includes an additional ”Apollo 11 Man and the Moon” special supplement, dated 17 July 1969, three days before Apollo 11 completed its successful mission. Supplement details preparations for the mission. Newspaper includes section 1 of the original four part paper, which runs 18pp; supplement runs 19pp. Paper measures 15.5” x 11.5” folded, with toning throughout. Overall very good to near fine. Sold for $2,623.
The Most Famous Newspaper Mistake of All Time — ”Dewey Defeats Truman”
”Chicago Daily Tribune” newspaper dated 3 November 1948 featuring 1.5” banner headline ”DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN”, the most famous newspaper faux-pas of the 20th century. This complete three-section newspaper is rare as most of the issues were taken off the stands when the Tribune Co. realized its error. Only 2,000 were estimated to have reached private hands and many have disappeared since 1948. Runs 40pp. Very light toning. Tears along right edge and middle fold, else near fine. A rare and very desirable historical issue in very good condition. Sold for $1,758.
”Chicago Daily Tribune” newspaper dated 3 November 1948 exclaiming ”G.O.P. WINS WHITE HOUSE!”, the erroneous headline published in the afternoon after their first mishap of ”Dewey Defeats Truman” in the morning. It wouldn’t be until the next day when the Tribune finally called the 1948 Presidential election correctly, with Democrat Harry Truman as the President-elect. Paper is the Home edition with the first section running 26pp. and the second section running 14pp. Paper has some toning and foxing, with some chipping as expected, but with no significant loss of paper. Very good condition. Sold for $1,500.
