50 Times People Found Bizarre Hidden Items Inside Their Homes

I had bought the book at a used bookstore some time ago. I discovered this old money among the pages of the book.

The old rusty box is nailed to an oak that has to be 150 years old. After years of passing it by, I decided to open the box to see if anything was inside. After all, there isn’t even a house nearby to which it could serve anyway. Any home it serviced long ago is torn down, I’m sure.
I noticed an old letter inside, as you can see in picture #2. I looked at the postmark date, and it said July 7, 1903! Due to age and moisture, the addressee on the envelope was not readable, so I opened up the envelope hoping to find some local history and a good story I could share with you. Here is what the letter inside said. “We have been trying to reach you about your vehicle’s extended warranty.”

While this wasn't found in a wall, but inside a local thrift store.

I husband and I live in Canada in the same city that he grew up in. He and I were in a local thrift store a few weeks ago looking for things for our home. He stops infront of me and says "holy s***"! I look up to see this picture.

He goes on to tell me that his mother used to have this hanging on her wall when he was growing up. He took this picture and sent it to my brother-in-law, who showed my mother-in-law. Low and behold it's the same exact picture. Same frame, same wire on the back, everything.

This picture was a wedding gift to my mother-in-law and went missing about 25 years ago.

Tonight he says “oh I never noticed the lady in there”
Turns out it’s a Victorian era daguerreotype

I was missing a set of keys and thought my kids might have dropped them in the hole, I cut a lower hole and found all this, no keys but it made my day.

25 Years Ago, So Happens The Contractor That Built Our Front Porch Took It Upon Himself To Borrow It From My Garage And Not Return It. I Can Finally Sleep Now.

From a Norwegian newspaper in november 1947. Roughly translated: "In a time with few houses, one must make do with what is available. In the US empty ammunition boxes are sold for 24 cents a piece to war veterans. For a price of 3000 dollars one can build a practical four rooms house. Here are some carpenters building a house of boxes."

Wonder if any of those houses are still standing? 3000 USD in 1947 is about 41k USD today.

I Have A Company Here Doing The Insulation In Our Attic And They Needed To Cut Some Access Holes In The Closet Upstairs For, I Don't Know What For, But Anyway, Look What They Found In The Wall!

It's filthy, but it looks like it's just dusty, not rusty. I think it's amazing, but how do I go about cleaning it so that I can get it appraised ? I wonder what year it is, I looked it up, it looks like the 1920's possibly. I can't find a serial number yet, just the patent number. This s****r is HEAVY and filthy. Looks like I have a project on my hands, so fun !! But I need some advice on how to go about cleaning it.
