Any ideas how or who to inquire about a 100+ year old dictionary and what it's worth?

I was interested in finding out about an old dictionary that is from the year 1906 and appears to be an Original Websters Dictionary that is in good condition other than pages which have turned a yellowish color (unless that is the color paper they used way back then). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ThanksAny ideas how or who to inquire about a 100+ year old dictionary and what it's worth?

Well, believe it or not, you may be able to find another copy of this dictionary available on line at Amazon.com. Here's what I would do:



Go to Amazon and search for Webster's Dictionary. I did that and got over 14,000; then clicked on Reference and next clicked on Dictionaries which got me to over 2,000. Next, you can sort according to publication date.



You might have an easier time checking for the price since you have the complete title (and maybe an editor's name). Older doesn't always translate into dollars - if there are a lot of copies or no one is collecting, it might not be worth much.



Also, I would say the yellowing is due to age.



I'm listing some other sites, too, that don't have as many offerings and might help you search. Good luck, and hope you have a winner!Any ideas how or who to inquire about a 100+ year old dictionary and what it's worth?
try checking with an antiquarian book dealer like "Books and Bidders antiquarian books" (phone#(216) 381-2665) cleveland,oh area. the paper turned yellow as a result of the acid that was used to break down the wood pulp in the production of the paper.
There are a few places that you can shoot an email to that would probably know right off the top of their heads....it's their business!

First you need to get it appraised. Hire a professional appraiser, or take it to Antiques Road Show.



Once you know what it's worth, then you can either sell it at auction such as eBay or if you have a high taxable income you can do better by finding a library or museum to accept it as a gift and give you a tax write-off.



If pages are turning yellow, beware - they may soon crumble. Paper used back then was not acid-free. Stanford University Library is treating its millions of old books to deal with this problem, but I don't know where you as an individual could get it done.
