Here is a quick round up of some of the more interesting finds that we have had in the house. All of these were found in the main bathroom in various spaces. Some were in the ceiling, some were in the wall, and others were clearly specifically placed to be found by someone like us, as they were wrapped around the back of the porcelain soap dish.
This first news paper was found in the ceiling and was from 1916. This was the year that the addition was done with the kitchen and bedrooms. We didn't have a large piece, but we were able to date it from the obituaries. It is a Philadelphia newspaper, though I am not sure which one.
Young man wanted for various positions. I love the one where the job requirement is "must be sober!"
Then there was another newspaper from February 1, 1950 that was in various spots in the bathroom. This was the New York Herald Tribune. This first picture is my favorite section about the making of a "Super-Bomb." Oh, boy.
There were large pieces of the theater section. Here are a few of the shows that were playing on Broadway.
ADAM'S RIB (Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn)
ON THE TOWN (Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Ann Miller, Betty Garrett)
YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN (Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, Doris Day, Hoagy Carmichael)
