100 Years on the Road

[JohnL]

My father sold Studebakers off and on from @ 1947 thru 1962. In 1952 Studebaker published a book the size of a magazine titled "100 Years on the Road". Its the size of the old Life/Look magazines, 76 pages, with storys and lots of pictures dating back to pre-autombile thru 1952. Its in pretty rough shape torn and tattered. I presume there are alot of these publications still around? Just wondered what it might be worth. It was written too early to include my '59 pickup.

Our Studebaker dealer gave me one when my Mother bought her 53 Champion. I was 8 years old at the time, but I still have it. It is in rough condition, though.

The show up on eBay occasionally for about 25-30 dollars.

John, condition means a lot on these pieces. If you really want to know the value put it on eBay and let the market tell you. If you are asking for estate reasons or for some other purpose probably not as much as on eBay

John; Avantidon is correct- condition is everything. I have sold two (one on eBay, one at a swap meet) that were in excellent condition. Got $40 for both. Have sold several that had separated covers, were well worn, creased, folded, etc. Was lucky to get $15 to $20. They were in fair to good condition. They are not a rare item.

I have had some of these. I have sold the best/good condition ones for $20 each. The value goes down sharply for copies in poor condition because most want these collectible items in good condition and they are available in good condition. To directly answer your question, I would say $10 based on your description.

Thanks everyone for the info. I just wondered whether I had the only one in existence. I'm not really interested in selling...my two brothers would kill me if I did...they're jealous I inherited it.
