Must have been the times of the Black Friday.

Cohen has in his huge price compilation from 1890-1899, including Ward's
pice lists:

Alfianello average 3.00$/g (min. 0.92 - max. 4.61$)

Braunau 16.14$ (9.22 - 23.05)

Canyon Diablo 1.84$ (0.46 - 4.61)

Forest City 4.15$ (2.12 - 6.73)

Glorieta Mountain 4.61$ (2.31 - 9.22)

L'Aigle 7.15$ (2.31 - 11.76)

Orgueil 27.20$ (23.05 - 34.58)

Steinbach 9.45$

At least I had converted the German Goldmark via the gold-fixings of then
and today like this.


Hehe.

Campo del Cielo 17.98$ (4.61 - 31.35$)

Brenham 3.69$ (1.38 - 7.61$)

Brahin 26.28$ (12.68 - 35.27$)

Vaca Muerta MES
- Janacera Pass/Sierra deChaco 10.83$ (4.61-19.82)
- Llano del Inca 2.54$ (1.57-3.69)

Betreff: [meteorite-list] Some 1929 Meteorite Prices in 2010

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.
