When a policy is taken out, it is taken out with an agreed sum assured. If you allow your policy to lapse due to the stopping of premium payments then the sum assured is reduced to give you a lower value (this is seen as a contract breach and is effectively the penalty you have to pay)

The reduced sum assured is referred to as "the paid up value"

What would your 2500 life policy by worth if you got it in 1952?

If the policy was a term life insurance policy and presuming that you paid all premiums and the policy did not lapse for non-payment, it would be considered to be "fully paid-up". Therefore, upon the insured's death, the insurance company would be obliged to pay the face value of the policy. If the policy was a "whole life insurance policy", cash value would probably have accumulated so it may have more value ($2500 plus the accumulated cash value). A definitive answer cannot be given without reviewing the policy.
