About us

We have been collectors and dealers of Rare & Early Newspapers since 1975. Timothy Hughes, our founder, is still the centerpiece of our efforts, with Guy Heilenman serving as part-owner and the manager of daily affairs. We only offer authentic originals (no reproductions). Some of the most collectible topics, titles, and categories include: the Oxford/London Gazette (dating back to 1665, British and Colonial American titles from the 1700's (including the Revolutionary War era), reports re: many of the Founding Fathers of America - Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton, etc., the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Old West era, one of the largest offerings of Harper's Weekly (including prints by Thomas Nast and Winslow Homer), and most historic events of the 20th Century - politcs, sports, inventions, disasters, triumphs, and more.

“History is never more fascinating than when read from the day it was first reported.” (Tim Hughes, Founder of Rare & Early Newspapers, 1976)

Great people to work with. I had a few questions and Guy was attentive and very helpful. The newspaper came extremely well packaged to handle shipping, and I’m very pleased with how quickly it was shipped. Definitely buy the archival folder (white with plastic layer), it is great to keep the paper nice and you can still open it and read the pages. The quality is exactly what was pictured, and I can’t wait to give it to my husband for Christmas. He will be so impressed with the preservation!

Very pleased with this seller (Guy), I needed a specific date, one which had no major historical significance, and the seller was helpful and found what I was looking for, with a marked up but fair price, considering. To add to this, the way the seller packages their newspapers was again quite helpful. It had been rainy and snowy all day when it was delivered, and though the outer cardboard was wet, the newspaper was fine due to being sealed up in a bag! Great seller, highly recommended!
