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.”

Not Worth Much On The Collector's Market, But I'm Keeping It Anyway Because I Love The Art Deco Design.

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.

Once I opened them and found a century of family documentation, I knew I had to find its owners. They sold me everything for 8 bucks, I only found a few names to work off of in the photos and papers.
It dates possibly anywhere from the 1800s to 1970s. The seller said they bought storage that wasnt paid after a woman passed away and it wasnt paid, her son refused to talk with anyone and they were informed he was a paranoid c*******d- which is normal for this area.
So Im trying for other family members. Anything would help!
Update: The great great grandaughter of the owner to those photos was found! She was incredibly gracious and said she never knew they existed. They are calling a family meeting and gonna try to find out more! Wild she lived 9 minutes away
She took my name and number too in case they need more info

Sadly some overly zealous builders couldn't wait to start painting over it with the gray paint. Pearline Washing Compound was made from 1857 to 1926. It looks to me like it's been hidden since maybe the 1880s or 90s.

That is a crown on the front with a 1/10pt. Impression as well.

Does anybody have any ideas or information?

It was hidden under the attic stairs in an old apartment building I bought. I'm guessing he lived in the apartment after he was paroled. My worker remembered the crime well and told me how he was helping search crews look for the body pretending to be good citizen. Gave me the chills when I confirmed it was him.

I am time after time awestruck by how well-made everything was in the past ❤️❤️❤️

Anyone Know If This Is Some Type Of Superstition Or Something.... Or Maybe Just A Bored Kid Who Found Some Pennies?

But Is It? The Paint Is Thick In Some Olaces. No Signature Though That I Can See, Although The Painting Seems To Be Stuck To The Frame.

I am in Australia, my husband was New Zealand born but an Australian citizen, hence my question about how he could have possibly come to have this in his possession.
Apologies for not making that clearer when I first posted.

Dimensions 48x44. Since the frame is changed I would need to completely take it apart in order to see the real backing. I am affraid It could damage the picture as I tried and all seems to be sealed together. If this is acceptable I would like to know more on the artist if possible. Thanks for your help.

The comic is burnt on the edges. im not sure if it was deliberately done like that. but the dates are from 1946 and 1947. sorry if the pics arent that clear.

It Was Actually In As The Flooring Facing Down Along With At Least 2 More. Old Shotgun Style Home In Florida. Oh Yeah Its Painted On A Piece Of Plywood.

We had to remove a door and frame to get a piece of furniture from inside a 300 year old house, when I found this sitting inside the wall. Approximately 2.5" tall. Exactly as it was found. The paint and details on the head was completely worn smooth and looked shiny polished. The hands were also missing paint I am assuming someone back then was rubbing it for some reason.
