Believe or not I found this old image actually in a dumpster. it was just lying on top among several other pictures that I found after digging through the house. I was able to dig a little bit longer before the person running the estate sale came out of the house and said, “I’m afraid you’ll fall in.” She was right, so I stopped. #found #photos #photography #foundphoto #dumpsterdiving #estatesale #urbanarcheology

Old gags are the best gags? I’m not sure how you can depict this in a humorous way at a little girl’s party using just 3 cells. These are at least 50 years old and still won’t blow out. #found #novelties #gags #pranks #birthday #humor #estatesale #urbanarcheology

A Guarantee That it's Going to be a Happy Easter

An awesome find last weekend turns into a larger story yet to be told. And it was told...on my other website. Read it here.  

If you’re going to have a porch light you’re going to need..... Actually, some may recognize this as an added benefit from owning a Lane Cedar Chest. In 1937 this came with your purchase but you still had to send away for it - to have in in your name and get the $100 benefit should moths snack on the contents. #found #legal #insurance #aetna #1937 #estatesale #urbanarcheology
