I found a Schirmer publication from over 75 years ago. How valuable is it?
We really have no way of knowing how valuable one of our old publications may be. In most cases, it will probably not be very valuable, simply because so many copies were printed. But, as with any collectible item, the value probably depends on who wants it for what purpose, as well as its physical condition. We recommend that you give it to a friend or relative who is interested in music; or donate it to a public library and take a tax deduction; or take it to an antiquarian book dealer. These dealers occasionally buy/sell old music.
