THE ASSASSINATION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN ORIGINAL WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS NEWSPAPER OF APRIL 15, 1865! Front page view of this rare and highly collectible newspaper! The front page had already been completed before news of the shooting arrived. Top left of page one contains an article about the fall of the Confederacy and the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox! Pages two and three where all the news about Lincoln is located in several areas! This article is interesting in that it indicated that Secretary of State William Seward and his son were both murdered (they both actually survived)! This is seen in subsequent sections as the details and updates continued to arrive as the type- setting was being completed for this Saturday morning edition of the Daily Spy. This section first names "J. Wilkes Booth" as the probable assassin of Lincoln At the bottom of the page, the terrible news that the nation's president has succumbed The back page (4) of the paper - note the interesting "Cherokee Medicines" checkerboard pattern design on the right-hand side and a few old woodcuts PLEASE SEE IMPORTANT NEW SHIPPING INFORMATION & TERMS OF SALE BELOW BEFORE YOU BID OR BUY! TITLE/DESCRIPTION: ORIGINAL LINCOLN ASSASSINATION NEWSPAPER FROM WORCESTER, MASS. - APRIL 15, 1865! CLASSIFICATION OF ITEM: Genuine antique newspaper GRADE OR CONDITION OF ITEM(S): Used - some folds, small tears, and stains, but still generally solid condition ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION: This genuine antique edition of the Worcester Daily Spy dated Saturday Morning, April 15, 1865 will be one of the highlights of any important collection of historical newspapers! This totally awesome, four-page, large size paper originally cost four cents and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln didn't even make the front page! Why, you ask? Well, back then, all the typesetting was done by hand and it was a very slow and arduous process to put together even just four large pages of print. Thus page one had already been completed and page two just begun when the awful news of Lincoln's assassination came across the telegraph wires. You can actually read the first few dispatches as reported in the paper. This much-sought-after historical newspaper is in fairly good shape for its age, with some folds, small tears, and stains. It was part of a run of about two weeks worth of Daily Spy newspapers from this time frame that we purchased some years ago (along with a large group of old, large-sized foreign banknotes circa the early 1900's). Most of the other newspapers were traded away for gold quite a while ago. We still have a couple of other papers from the group. They are in nice shape and the quality of the paper was actually better back then than of today's newspapers (higher rag content); that's why these old timers were able to survive. Needless to say, this is the opportunity of a lifetime for the Abe Lincoln or Civil War buff! Are there any other copies of this particular newspaper even in existence? We have seen some New York papers from this date (some were reproductions). We hope you enjoyed the scans above and think you'll appreciate the history represented by this old-time piece of newsprint. Some of the scans are a different shade because they were taken at different times in different lighting conditions and with two different cameras. Enjoy and please check out our many other interesting items!

Return policy details: We have been in the banknote business for over thirty years and, with thousands of orders shipped, have had an extremely low number of requests to return an item (below 1/10th of 1 per cent). Since we make a concerted effort to describe and/or illustrate our items for sale carefully, we expect requests for returns to be very few and far between. The time to ask questions about an item we have for sale is always best before you purchase it. Nonetheless, in those rare cases where the buyer feels the need to return an item, we will offer a refund if the item is returned to us within 30 (thirty) days of receipt, in the same condition we shipped it under the following conditions: Returns are made at the buyer's expense, and we do not refund shipping fees, unless we mistakenly shipped an incorrect item to you. Note 1: Our auctions are not approval sales. Note 2: Sorry - no returns on bulk lots of assorted, unattributed items due to possibility of substitution of items. These are sold as-is with no returns. Note 3: All serial numbers, prefix numbers, signatures, and bank series numbers may be different from the sample images provided in our listings, unless specifically stated that the image shown is the actual item for sale.
