I recently acquired a large lot of old meteorite price lists and pulled some more common meteorite names from an original Ward's Natural Science Establishment March 15, 1929 Meteorite Price List. I have converted them to 2010 US dollars (based on 3.18% annual inflation rate according to DollarTimes.com).
Disclaimer: This is "just for fun" - I AM NOT SELLING AT THESE PRICES! Lol! Here is the "Today's Dollar" Equivalent Price Per Gram from 1929: Alfianello 249 gram end $1.52/g Braunau 10 grams $12.63/g Canyon Diablo 116 kilos $0.02/g Forest City 166 grams complete stone $1.25/g Fisher 19 gram fragment $3.98/g Glorieta Mountain 544 grams $1.04/g Holbrook 968 gram complete stone $0.50/g L'Aigle 10 gram fragment $3.15/g Orgueil 21 grams of fragments in vial $5.00/g (!) Steinbach 198 grams $4.30/g Saint Michel 290 gram fragment $1.74/g In 1929 $1.00 had about the same buying power as $12.63 in 2010. ---------------------------------------------- Mike Bandli Historic Meteorites www.HistoricMeteorites.com IMCA #5765 ----------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
