It depends on what type of insurance policy it is. If it is a term product, there would probably be no cash value. If it were a whole life policy, it probably has a cash value, but the amount would depend on who the insured was and the face value, what the cost of insurance was (as underwritten at time of issue), whether the premiums provided for an accumulating cash value, and whether it was a Participating policy (PAR or non-PAR), which may have accumulated dividends. Given the policy was issued in the 1950's, it's probably not a Universal Life/investment type policy, unless it's been converted over to one.
