Very old sheet music

[pugwrangler]

Found a box of very old sheet music at my TS. Debating if I should go back... The interesting one is "My grand-fathers clock" from 1876. Can't find any for sale online. Any help is appreciated.

So far, in my limited experience with sheet music, the experience has been one for me to avoid. BUT that is older and some good art work. How much were the asking?

They had a ton of them. Got a couple from the 1850s and 60s. $1.50-2.50. So I took the $15 gamble.

I have done ok selling sheet music. If the price is right you really can't lose.

I can tell you that grandfather clocks became known as such strictly because of that song. I think it would qualify as a cross collectible attractive to those who collect sheet music as well as those who are into horology. There were more than a million original copies sold though.
