The Times (of London) (22 July 1969)
Quite rumpled and flimsy pages 1,2,17,18 and I-IV of an overseas edition of this date. Do not expect perfection in quality but it’s authentic. Grade: 2

Code: 50000094
Price: $49.00
Taifa Leo (Nairobi) (27 January 1969)
Kenya’s Swahili version of the “Daily Nation”, whose headline for this edition translates roughly as “Strangers, prostitutes, and thieves in the fire”. That should have gotten someone’s attention. With pages 1-8, this looks like the complete original issue. Aging. Grade: 3

Code: 50000094
Price: $19.00
East African Standard (Nairobi) (19 July 1969)
On the way! Original pages 1-2 of a report that the Apollo 11 Moon landing might be a few hours early. Highly aged and fragile. Grade: 5

Code: 50000095
Price: $12.00
East African Standard (Nairobi) (21 July 1969)
We think this is the entire original edition — pages 1-8 plus a four-page supplement — of reporting on a remarkable achievement from a non-Western perspective. We will do our best to protect this and all our other fragile newspapers to get them to you safely. Grade: 3

Code: 50000096
Price: $99.00
The Times (London) (21 July 1969)
Pages 1-2, 7-10, and 15-16 of the international (airmail) edition, on flimsy paper. Grade: 2

Code: 50000097
Price: $49.00
Taifa Leo (Nairobi) (22 July 1969)
Original pages 1-8 of this Swahili-language daily from Nairobi. Although the main headline translates as “He is charged with the murder of (Tom) Mboya,” who was one of Kenya’s most famous politicians then and now, the paper itself was saved because of reporting on the Apollo 11 Moon landing. Intact but highly aged. Grade: 3

Code: 50000099
Price: $26.00
East African Standard, Nairobi (22 July 1969)
Pages 1-10, original, of this reporting of the first Moon landing. Grade: 2

Code: 50000100
Price: $39.00
Daily Nation (Nairobi) (23 July 1969)
Original pages 1-2, then 1-12 of a special supplement called “Man on the Moon”, followed by 19-20. We do not know how many additional pages are missing. This item, while also highly aged, is in marginally better condition than many others of the same period. Grade: 3

Code: 50000102
Price: $39.00
East African Standard (Nairobi) (24 July 1969)
Original pages 1-2 and 9-10 of this front page reporting the ongoing return of Apollo 11 after the Moon landing. Aged and fragile condition. Grade: 4

Code: 50000103
Price: $19.00
Daily Nation, Nairobi (26 July 1969)
Original front and back pages of this tabloid, a relatively normal day back then. One key front-page article described medical exams on returning astronauts. Grade: 2

Code: 50000104
Price: $12.00
The Egyptian Gazette (Cairo) (7 August 1969)
Original pages 1-4 of what looked like a relatively normal news day, but what catches our eye is the front-page article entitled “Shuttle Service to Moon”, predicting what the “leader of the U.S. Manned Space Flight Programme envisions” for the future. We are quite fond of reading predictions made so many years ago — including this one. Aging paper. Grade: 3

Code: 50000105
Price: $19.00
Ghanaian Times, Accra (14 January 1972)
The Ghanaian Times is a government-owned daily newspaper published in Accra. The newspaper was established in 1957, has now a circulation of 80,000 copies and is published six times per week. Here’s eight pages (maybe the whole issue, we’re not sure) reporting a 1972 coup. Heavily aged and fragile, but readable. Grade: 4

Code: 50000106
Price: $29.00
The Washington Post (1 August 1972)
Many people neither remember nor even know of the Eagleton event but it was one of an avalanche of political messes in the USA during the 1970s. We resist the urge to comment on whether those continue today. Original front page, aging. Grade: 3

Code: 50000107
Price: $12.00
The Washington Post (6 September 1972)
The 1972 Olympics in Munich will forever be known for terrorist events, not for who won or lost. Everyone lost. Original front page, aging. Grade: 3

Code: 50000112
Price: $12.00
The Evening Star and The Washington Daily News (26 December 1972)
Talk about someone who rose to the occasion … Harry Truman did his job well. Many of our global readers might not even have heard of him, but this U.S. President took office under almost impossible circumstances and just powered though everything after that. Original front page, heavily aged but intact. Grade: 3

Code: 50000113
Price: $12.00

While the main headline is about price controls (which didn’t work), the real news was the departure of the final U.S. troops from Vietnam. Original front page, heavily aged but intact. Grade: 3

Code: 50000116
Price: $12.00
Ghanaian Times (Accra) (10 April 1973)

Code: 50000117
Price: $19.00

Price: $12.00
The New York Times (11 October 1973)
As the song goes, “Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end …” but for all the wrong reasons. We’re assuming that, over time, fewer and fewer people will remember Spiro Agnew. Do you remember John C. Calhoun? Of course you don’t. Here’s an original front page showing Agnew’s departure. Some markings. Grade: 4

Code: 50000121
Price: $12.00
The Washington Post (13 October 1973)
Part of what became known as Watergate, bringing down a President. Original front page, aging to the point of some crumbling. Grade: 4

Code: 50000122
Price: $12.00
The Washington Post (7 December 1973)
On that day, many minds were on Christmas shopping and not politics, and probably not many people thought Gerald Ford would become U.S. President so soon after that. But, Surprise! Original front page, highly aged. Grade: 3

Code: 50000123
Price: $12.00
The Washington Post (28 July 1974)
In the middle of the Nixon impeachment planning, did this precipitate his resignation? Historians can tell us about that. Original front page, aging. Grade: 3

Code: 50000124
Price: $12.00
Ghanaian Times (Accra) (14 October 1974)
Original, highly aged front page. Grade: 4

Code: 50000125
Price: $12.00
Rand Daily Mail (Johannesburg) (25 June 1975)
Original pages 1-2 and 7-8 of the edition announcing Mozambique’s independence (“uhuru”) that day. On 7 September 1974, the Portuguese government and FRELIMO signed the Lusaka Accord recognising Mozambique’s right of independence which was then formally proclaimed on 25 June 1975. This item is aged but still in relatively good condition. Grade: 3

Code: 50000126
Price: $29.00
The Star (Johannesburg) (25 June 1975)
The Star took a somewhat different approach to Mozambican independence than its rival Rand Daily Mail on the same day. The Star was distinctly more negative. Original pages 1-2 and 39-40 of this edition, aged particularly around the edges. Grade: 4

Code: 50000127
Price: $29.00

Original front page, aging. Grade: 3

Code: 50000128
Price: $12.00
The Washington Post (3 November 1976)
If you asked us, we would say that few people expected Jimmy Carter to win the Presidency, yet somehow he did. The same could, of course, be said for others after him. Original front page (with A23-24 connected), very heavily aged and fragile. Grade: 4

Code: 50000129
Price: $12.00
The Washington Post (21 January 1977)
Newly elected President Jimmy Carter did the best he could with the hand he was dealt. One of the biggest surprises came just as this issue of The Post came out. Original front page, highly aged. Grade: 3

Code: 50000130
Price: $14.00
Ethiopia (A)
Approximately tabloid size, and possibly the entire newspaper, we think this may be from the mid-1970s but haven’t pursued translating any of the Amharic. Calling Dr. Google … Heavily aged. Grade: 4

Code: 50000131
Price: $12.00
South China Morning Post (Hong Kong) (10 September 1983)
Pages 1-4 and 17-22 reporting Typhoon Ellen, one of those storms occasionally coming through Hong Kong and doing real damage. Original, and with aging newsprint. Grade: 3

Code: 50000132
Price: $29.00
The Pyongyang Times (DPR Korea) (22 February 2014)
Or, by DPRK’s reckoning for dates, February 22, Juche 103. You are unlikely to find this newspaper for sale at your local newsstand. And we will uncharacteristically reserve any comment about it apart from saying that it is the complete, original issue (8 pages) and in excellent condition right now. Grade: 1

Code: 50000133
Price: $89.00
The Pyongyang Times (DPR Korea) (22 March 2014)
