It doesn't completely close. It's not a very good box.
Opened
High school diplomas of Grandpa, Great Grandpa, and Great Uncle. Neat, but only to my family.
But what's this? Those drawers come out?!
Jack-Frikin-Pot!
Highlights in no particular order. The grandparents probably saved the later ones, but some are probably from Grandpa's parent's collection.
Moon landing - 1969
Moon landing, plus Kennedy news.
More moon landing.
A princess becomes a queen - 1953
The death of Lincoln. Technically 1865. This is either a reprint or a repring of a reprint. You can tell by the Extra 8:10 a.m. headline. Max age, 1880.
Psychology from 1977.
End of WWII - 1945
1945
American bicentennial 7/4/1976
Death of Kennedy
End of WWII. Bonus - this newspaper doesn't exist any more.
The legitimately oldest paper in the box - 1891.
End of WWI - 1918
Death of Roosevelt - 1919
End of WWI
Eisenhower elected - 1952.
Death of President McKinley - 1901. Not sure why name is spelled that way.
Hope you enjoyed this small look into the past!

in the news paper article with the atomic bomb, there is a small article pertaining to a voice that sounded like hitler over a secret radio

Gramps left behind historical treasure. But all our grandkids will find from us are stupid memes.

Headline "Man Walks on Fucking Moon!" "Holy shit!" says Neil Armstrong.

That is pretty neat. I'm going to start screen shots some headlines and print them out.

For some reason I soon as I view this I started to smell old papers in my surroundings, either I'm having a stroke or just a memory trigger.

I was wondering if they had on pants.

C'mon @OP tell MyFartsHitMyBalls what he wants to hear!
TheSaltyCaptain
I was going to put that exact same comment. Glad someone took on the duty before I got here.

Pretty sure OP's a chick. But still nice legs!
Spookedgal
I'd love to read all the smaller pieces on these, like the advertisments and smaller news articles, old newspapers intrigue me.
doggetofftheqcekmty
There's definitely some cool stuff in there. Some are too fragile to open fully though.
Spookedgal
My local paper reruns stories from 100years ago. Usually about local dances and horses. Really cool. Great post OP

Out for a photo op, and right back in the box.

I'd advise looking into a long term preservation strategy. They wont last in that box forever.
FliesByNight
Are they, though? They should be, they're amazing.
doggetofftheqcekmty
Pinky swear!

For the record, that random oldest paper with no major headlines was probably from your great grandparents wedding date. It's old tradition.
ZebraCockSandwich
My parents saved the papers from my sister's and I's births.

Gee, if only there was a possesive form of "I"...

Get the same episode on your phone, on repeat playing during the delivery.

A gentleman's name should appear in the newspaper only three times: When he's born, when he marries, and when he dies.
doggetofftheqcekmty
Gonna take a bit folks. Have good info for grandma, but nothing matches. Gonna have to dig for grandpa's side. I will find out!
doggetofftheqcekmty
Huh! Did not know that! Now I'm gonna have to go check out the family tree.
