I have two old Downbeat issues from my dad, a former sax and clarinet man who played with Henry Mancini back in PA. I would like to sell them. They are from the 40’s. Where should I start?

I also have four Norman Granz Jazz at the Philharmonic Festival of Modern American Jazz Stan Kenton magazine. Do you know of anyone who would be interested in these items? Thank you.

My memory says that they have COMPLETE years of Downbeat from 1937 on – BUT – they have earlier issues on microfiche. You probably have to sweet talk someone to actually go look in the archives for you.
Hope this helps!
Rich

Did you see any issues there from 1934-6? And did you see them on microfilm or microfiche?
Thanks,
Ammon

They have all the early editions on microfiche(!)
