Just clearing out the attic and found an old paper. It is from 1912 number 2645 about the titanic. Any ideas if it is worth anything or what i should do with it?

eBay indicates it could be worth £200 - £300

However it could also be a collectable reprint.

A nice find if it is original.

It is an original as far as I can tell. I am going to keep it as it is a part of history, and not everyone own a 100 year old newspaper. Thank you chap, appreciated

We are the chap, for we are many.

Not a bad idea, it can only go up in value anyway.

Might be worth getting it sealed in an airtight case or something to prevent further degradation? Also, keep it in the dark.

Why not take a picture and post here for posterity?

Here you go

Nitefly · 8 May 2012 at 17:28

That's awesome

OMG, that looks official, it must be expensive

j0s · 8 May 2012 at 17:31

looks like a 1998 reprint, otherwise it would have 16 pages

i see nothings changed with parcel delivery in 100 years

Yup that is a 1972 reprint. You can see that the G in 'morning' is extended. It was the same size as the other characters in the original.

Needs to be kept in the ice-box in your refridgerator.

72 reprint had 16 pages, this is 98 as it has 8 pages, it was re-released same time as the titanic film

Get it carbon dated, only way to know.
