FAQ

Are your papers original newspapers or reprints?

We sell full original newspapers from over 100 years ago. We do carry some reprint products which are identified as such in the description of those products. Our Day You Were Born Newspaper and similar are ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC newspapers from your chosen date!

Do you have a list of available original newpapers online?

As the inventory is vast and changes daily, we are unable to maintain a list of titles online. Once we receive your order we conduct a physical check of the warehouse to confirm availability of the paper you need.

Do you carry small town papers?

We do have papers from many cities, but as these are originals it is based on availability. When we do not have the paper you wanted as your first choice, we recommend the NYT or WSJ when available as these papers include both national and international news and will include any big news stories of the day. That's one reason they are so popular, even today.

Why do I need to pay before I know which paper I will receive?

Once we receive your order we conduct a physical check of the warehouse to confirm availability of the paper you need. This ensures that your order can be processed as soon as the paper is located. If we do not have the specific paper you are seeking, we will offer you the options we do have. If you are not satisfied with those options, we will provide a full refund.

How long does it take for a paper to deliver?

All our shipping times are indicated in the shipping drop-down menu on each product page on our site. These times include processing time, and are a good indication of when you can expect your order to deliver.

Knocked His Socks Off!

Thank You so much!! My first choice local newspaper wasn't available being WW2 time, so Eric was kind enough to suggest this alternative. My Father-in-law was speechless! I know that this will be a gift he talks about for a long long time. He was so surprised and never imagined he would have something like this in his hands. Now, if we could just ...Read More

talk him into opening it. . we're dying to take a look inside, but for now anyway, it's behind glass. If you're on the fence. . get it! The look on his face when he realized it was real, was priceless. My FIL is an avid newspaper reader, was a delivery boy & everything. I almost scrapped the whole idea when I got the urgent "unavailable" email. I'm so glad I did not. Thank you Eric! And thank you for the fast shipping. It arrived well before the bid day.

Purchase

Purchased a newspaper, which had the wrong date. Let them know and they sent the correct one immediately. Very easy to work with. If I needed another paper, I would definitely order from them.
Thank You Very Much,

No chronicle available for that date. But the Time mag and Life mags offered in its stead were good. And on time.

Hi Tom. Sorry you were disappointed. You indicated on your order that you would accept a NYT, otherwise we wouldn't have sent it. We work with many archives trying to find a match in a dwindling supply of original newspapers. Some, like us, are in the USA and there are two big ones in the UK, and they are all excellent archives so not sure i understand why that is a disappointment.

It`s amazing!

I especially liked how you work with space and light, creating cozy and stylish interiors, so much that I want to repeat everything in my Dubai new villa. Such works inspire many people to create unique living spaces and become interested in real estate.

Super customer service and experience.

I purchased an 8/11/36 WSJ for my dad's 88th birthday, one week prior to the big day, and never expected it to go so smoothly. Super customer service and experience. The old man loved it. Thank you.

I asked for New York

I asked for New York Times and instead got Wall Street Journal. Disappointed.

Sorry you were disappointed - on your order you indicated that a WSJ would also work if we couldn't source a NYT. We do our best to make the exact match, and sometimes it proves impossible. The old adage about real estate -- They're not making any more of it -- is also true for original newspapers from 75 years ago...once they are gone, they're gone.
