Which one? Gold was $20.67 per Troy ounce in 1920, that’s about $664.55 per kilo. 10 kilos about $6,645.55
I’m believing the first search result countryliving.com/…/what-things-cost-100-years-ag… says that matches up.
Gold is about $64,900 per kilo today so $649,000 for 10 bars, that’s a low cost of living middle class place or HCOL very small house that needs renovation.
I could see you meaning these days and houses in some areas are in the $6 million range, guess they should be location specific.
Where did you get the gold price? This page says $269.
He’s taking kilograms, you’re talking ounces.
It’s weird though my 1920s price research shows $20.67 per Troy Ounce. Example: sdbullion.com/gold-price-by-year
I might be mistaken and that’s the US government’s set price for gold in the early 1900s, a lot of these other links show it closer to 10x that value.
