12. This War Gem
“We found war ration books from 1944 inside an old purse in the basement.”
Whoa! Can you imagine that? I can. In fact, where I lived in Poland, we did get all kinds of stamps for food and stuff during the communist years. Oh, yeah!
13. This Brew
“A 32-year-old, still sealed bottle of German beer found under my grandparent’s sink while cleaning their house out (we’re American).”
Something tells me that you shouldn’t drink that or if you do, do it at your own risk, ha, ha!

“This was my great grandma’s perfume. We suspect it was her mother’s. Says ‘Kismet’. Can anyone confirm how old this is?
So apparently, these perfume bottles were popular in the ’50s and ’60s. Hmm, I wonder what it smells like? Ha, ha!

How many phones did you own before your current one? I think I’ve had about five. But I’ve never seen one that comes with an optional clip-on chat board for “easy” texting. How about you, huh?
Wow, I have to admit there is some unique stuff here.
A lot of these items I have never seen before, and that’s pretty rare, if I say so myself. Have you ever found anything cool from the past hidden somewhere for a long time? If yes, I’d love to know what was.
