Don't give up hope.....that new / old house that you're moving into may hold more lucrative treasures !!!! Have faith and pixie dust !
I had fun reading this post too.
Thanks for taking pictures.
My grandparents left a safe in their house. Nothing was in it. There was also a safe at my wifes job. Nothing was in there either. I think after the Depression, people didn't trust banks, so they bought these huge safes.
When we remodeled our house, we found an old corset in the wall. We laughed about that one. We wondered who put it there and said, "I'm never wearing this again." It actually had whale bones in it.
