I found a Vogue magazine cover in a frame outside of an apartment complex trash dumpster. I need to know if I have something. I found a print copy online for $525 but can't seem to find the right place to go for an original. I know it is an original because it has a postmaster stamp on it from World War I saying if you bring the magazine to the post office they will mail it to our guys on the front. I do not collect these but I don't want to get rid of it either. Any help would be great. It is the January 15, 1918 cover by Helen Dryden, I believe.

Like all such things, it's only worth as much as some collector is willing to pay for it. These sorts of things are what keep Ebay in business, so you might try listing it there if you're wanting to sell it. Otherwise, try browsing the internet using GOOGLE with terms such as "magazine collectors" etc. There is bound to be a forum somewhere that allows discussing this category. And good luck.

Vogue was founded as a weekly publication by Arthur Baldwin Turnure in 1892. When he died in 1909, Condé Nast picked it up and slowly began growing the publication. The first change Nast made was that Vogue appeared every two weeks instead of weekly. Nast also went overseas in the early 1910s.
