1872 Webster's Dictionary Unabridged?

An old dictionary's spine.I have a 1872 Webster's dictionary unabridged. It's not perfect and has had some kind of previous moisture issues. The book is still intact with pages and spine, outside covers are just worn from discoloration. Is it worth anything? I'm having trouble finding information about it.

Dictionaries generally have no real value, but yours is over 100 years old, and considered an antique. If I were you, I would take it to an antique dealer for a free verbal appraisal.

With fifty years of experience in dictionary publishing behind it, Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary is the most definitive single-volume reference of the English language available. Since being acquired by the Merriam-Webster company in 1843, Webster's dictionary has been released in four main editions.
