November 13 1993 Appraisal

Saint Paul Pioneer Press Newspaper, November 13, 1993

The item is a full-size newspaper from November 13, 1993, specifically the "Saint Paul Pioneer Press." The front page is dominated by the headline "Snowbound" in large, bold black lettering, referring to the "Storm of the Century." Below the headline is a photograph depicting several individuals walking through a snow-covered area. The newspaper is printed on typical newsprint paper, which appears to be yellowing slightly consistent with age. There are visible fold lines across the newspaper from storage or handling. The edges show some minor wear, possibly slight tears or creasing. Other headlines visible on the front page include "Snowplows and tow trucks roll under cities' emergency rules," "Five dead in U of Iowa shooting spree," and "Israel, Arabs agree to direct talks." Smaller sections on the front page mention "Born in Texas, storm diverted to the Midwest" and details about the snow storm, including the number of deaths and snowfall amount. The overall condition appears fair, showing the expected signs of aging for a stored newspaper of this vintage. There are no obvious major rips or significant damage, but the paper is fragile due to its age.
