Old sheet music - Any value?

V8

Hi All,

I've been cleaning house and found some old song files (alto sax, trumpet, piano, bass guitar,) filled with printed sheet music that my dad put together (I think in the 60's/70's). I reckon he got hold of a whole bunch of books and put together his own customized books. I don't recognise most of the songs (I recognize Falling Leaves & Killer Joe), looks like a lot of old musical scores from movies and a few classics (Blue Danube).

The question is : Is there any inherent collector's value in old sheet music, especially as it is just a large collection of uncataloged loose sheets, not the original books themselves?

Thanks!

Not too much in the way of response. Keep them a (long) while longer Dude, firstly they were your Dads, secondly they're quite old, the longer you keep them, the more they may be worth and even better - they're cool family history! I have photos from my family from the 1890's with their travelling theatre, boy am I proud of them. my mother was the first in the family not to be born in a caravan. Keep them Dude and build on the magic that your Dad created! You are following in his footsteps and he must be very proud of you!
