April 21 1995 Appraisal

Pioneer Press Newspaper - April 21, 1995

The item is a physical copy of the Pioneer Press newspaper dated Friday, April 21, 1995. The newspaper is printed on standard newsprint paper, which is visible as slightly yellowed and folded. The front page features the headline "Searching for bodies, answers" related to the Oklahoma City bombing, with accompanying images, including sketches of suspects labeled "John Doe No. 1" and "John Doe No. 2", and a large photograph depicting the interior of the damaged Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Other front-page stories include "Victims: Explosion tears apart the very soul of the community," "Security: America raises its guard against terrorism," and "U.S. no longer the environmental leader." The newspaper appears to be in used condition with visible creases and folds, consistent with being handled and stored. The paper's edges show signs of age and minor wear, but there are no apparent tears or significant damage visible in the image. The top left corner indicates it is the 'Metro Final' edition. The masthead clearly identifies the publication as the "Pioneer Press, Saint Paul". The quality of the paper is typical for a newspaper of this era, and the printing is clear and legible.
