    Hi Folks,

    One of the many interesting items found in my grandfathers house upon his death was the above.

    Adverts such as "Travel to America bt the s.s. Republic" in places now occupied by adverts for Aer Lingus and Ryanair. Interesting to note that the Dublin stock exchange was as "subdued" in 1924 as it is today!

    The Freeman's Journal was Ireland's longest running newspaper title and ceased publication in late 1924, so this is at the very least one of the last issues.

    It' is complete and it's condition is relatively good overall, with some light tearing around the edges and folds. All in, considering it is 86 years old it is surprisingly intact.

    Is there any significance or value to it?

    I would love to see it go to somewhere that it can be preserved.

    It really is a delightful window into another time.

    I will post pics as soon as I get time.

    Thanks in advance

    That tells you more about the state of today's Ireland , when compared to stock exchange at the time of full blown civil war in this country !

    Love reading them , and some of them can be worth a few quid if issue is political .
