A little help with a post in the Art, Paintings Section?

Hello again...I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me an approximate value for this item (trying to recoup some of the restoration costs )...I found five (all different though) inside a wall while restoring my house (of course there were many other documents as well...but only 5 prints) they all appear to be late 1800's and taken from the New York Recorder. Not in perfect condition of course but they were in a crawl space that outside air was flowing through so it's amazing they are in the condition they are in. Any glares are caused by the melinex sleeves I have put them in to prevent further deterioration. Thanks.

Unfortunately they have little or no real value other than decorative. I have seen mint condition originals sell for in the 25 to 35 dollar range unframed, but that's about it. Prints as those are not too much in demand although true and very colorful remnants of our past.
