How do you find out if an old savings pass book from closed bank has any value?

By law no institution can convert the owner's funds into theirs.  If the institution can not locate the owner of the funds it holds after attempts to contact the owner of the account it must turn the funds of the account to the state treasure of the state that the institution resides.  HOWEVER, many banks charge fees to get around this.  Some bank call it a lack of activity charge and others may charge a low deposit charge.  So don't be surprised if the bank has legally usurpt the funds in the account.  Check with the treasure of the state that the bank was located.  And good luck.  Hopefully Indianna is as good as Kansas is in helping people reunite with their money.  \n\nGood luck.

They must have been in use in the mid- or late 1950s.\n\nIf you can get an idea of what they are worth, maybe you can auction them on e-Bay (if you can't find a collector).\n\nI visited a few sites and sent a few e-mails asking for info on your stamps.  I'll let you know if I find out anything.\n\nwww.FindYourStampsValue.com was interesting.  Didn't find your stamps - but found links to other stamp sites....  I'll let you know what I hear.   :)\n\n\nUPDATE:  I got the following response to one of the emails I sent out:\n\n"Thanks for your question.  I take it you're referring to the 6-cent John Wesley Powell (1869 Expedition) stamp issued in 1969.  It's a very common stamp, valued by Scott at the catalogue minimum of $0.20 in either mint or \nused condition.  In reality, that means the stamp is probably worth about face value ($0.06) in unused condition, as it can at least still be used for \npostage."\n\nThat response came from http://www.philosateleia.com/.

Depends on where it was minted and does it have any unusual things about it. It could be anywhere from just over $10 up into the thousands. Best thing is to get the red book of coins. That will tell you exactly what to look for and how much your coin is worth. Be careful taking it to a dealer of coins, they will lie to you every time, hoping you are willing to sell it and they can make big money off it (if it is one that is worth a lot of money). The library would have books about the value of coins. By the way. There were two kinds of sliver dollars in 1921, the morgan and the peace. Those are how they are known in the collector world. Also in the books about value of coins.

They have by now a different value than is printed on them. Go through one of the professional auction houses specializing in historic documents to get a fair market evaluation. \nOn eBay you most probably will sell too cheaply.

Contact Union Bank, they can help.  If you run into a problem, get a bank officer to assist you.  \n\nThere should be a record of the transaction.  While at the bank, ask if there is a Safe Deposit box, there may be some paperwork in it to assist in your search.

Was the deposit in cash?  If it was a check or money order, obviously you could present the cancelled item for verification of the correct amount.  Good luck.  You would think that the stamp in the passbook, which the bank entered, would be as good as a receipt, but I don't know for certain.  Actually, I didn't know they still issued passbooks.

Need to know what country it is from, and the condition.\nIn the United States, for example, there were 3 areas that made the 1913 penny.  In Canada, maybe 2 (not sure).  Also Great Britain.  \n\nIf it were a US coin, the BOOK Value would likely be anywhere between 65 cents and $33 (dollars)  depending upon \n1) where made in US  (Look for a small letter under date) \n2) condition\n\nBefore giving a value, MUST  know what country.\n\nIn Large libraries (Ususally MAIN  library)  they MAY  have a very thick directory, which has pictures of the common insignias on most major countries' coins, so  yuo could at least START  there.\n\nForeign coins are harder to sell, and ALL have a DEALER value of 1/3 to 1/10th (or less) the value stated in any coin directory.

What it's worth and what you'll get for it can vary greatly. To a collector, it might be worth the previously mention $10, but an enthusiast of that era might give you $20. (And then again, you might only get offered $2...)\n\nYou might eBay it to see where it goes.

go to a book store and buy a copy of Official Guide to U S Paper Money. Or if you have just a few, don't even buy the book, just right down the pertinent information and go look it up in the book store. Condition is critial to the value. Generally, a note in good condition is worth about 10% of what a note in uncirulated condition is worth. I assume they are U S notes.

I think the first thing you want to do is an online search on the companies - find out whatever you can about them that way.\n\nThe companies could changed their names, the companies could have been acquired, the companies could have gone bankrupt, the companies could have been taken private, etc.  All have ramifications as to potential value.\n\nThere are several published references on old stock certs - see if your library has one of these:\n\nFinancial Stock Guide Service" - updated annually since the 1920's, I think.\n\nAlso:\n"Robert D. Fisher Manual of Valuable & Worthless Securities" \n"National Stock Summary".\n\nIf you have no success in identifying/tracking the companies, there are services for hire - those will come with a fee.

Have an apraiser come out and take a look at it.  I know that is probably not the answer that you were looking for, but I wouldn't trust someone who has not seen it to know what it's worth.

There are books listing the values of old albums. Check your local library to see if they have one (or if they can get one). Otherwise, see if a local bookstore has one and read it at the shelf.\n\n(See source link for book)
