Description
The listing, Original Antique SF Newspaper has ended.
Original antique San Francisco newspaper from 1854 - Gold Rush days! Consists of four extra-large pages. Good condition with some water stains. Free shipping!
I bought this on eBay about 10 years ago. It has been stored in a cardboard tube since then. I cannot vouch for where it was stored for the previous 150 years.
I'm sure it is original. It is yellowed, but the iPhone picture didn't capture that. It also has some water stains, and minor edge fraying consistent with aging.
I cannot promise 100 percent that it is not a reproduction, but this is a random date newspaper -- most repros are of major news events, like earthquakes, fires, wars, assassinations,sporting events, etc. No reason why someone would take the effort to reproduce this particular issue.
I will stand by my assertion that it is an original, and you can return it if you believe otherwise.
