Pounds to dollars in 1905

Post by speleobat2 » Fri Aug 28, 2015 10:15 pm

Does anybody know how to find out the value of a pound relative to US dollars in 1905? I can't find anything on the internet. I have my great grandfather's will and I'm trying to put it in perspective.

Thanks Maureen! That will teach me to Google first. Yahoo answers didn't have an answer. Now I need to get out my calculator and do some arithmetic.
