My late brother-in-law had saved these. My late sister had shown them to me in the late 80's. I had forgotten about them but found them recently when going through some of her belongings. I just wondered if they had any value - as a piece of history. I have several more also.

I would think that these might be of interest to WWII collectors, radio collectors and WWII museums if you were to sell it. I don't have any idea what something like this would be worth money-wise. I think it's real value is it's historic value, and I do not know if that would traslate into $$ for an item like this. I think I would start by contacting a WWII museum to get some idea of what its historic value is and going from there.

Thanks talesofthesevenseas . I appreciate the feedback. I just find them so interesting to read. I was only 4 years old at that time, but I had two older brothers who were in WWII. I am more interested in seeing that they don't just get lost to time rather than money. I like your suggestion and will try to follow up on it. Here are a few more of what I scanned.

I am glad you enjoyed them also mart. Here are the last 3. I figured I may as well put them all on here for anyone who might enjoy viewing them.
Interesting sidenote : When I took the multi-page ones apart to scan them, I realized the staples were copper. I put the staples back in very carefully.

"early-day e-mails" - I had not thought of it that way but that is exactly what they are isn't it. How perceptive of you fancy pants and I am glad that you enjoyed them. Wow, we have come a long way haven't we?
