We live in an old duplex built before the turn of the LAST century.  As a result, we find some interesting things sometimes.  A recent construction project which involved tearing out our kitchen ceiling resulted in some very cool finds.

What we found:

• A sheet of paper describing Raymond’s Pectoral Plaster and its’ uses
• A Postcard from Meriden Connecticut postmarked 1909
• A bible lesson copyrighted 1896
• A piece of glass with a label from Monroe Pharmacal co in Rochester NY
• Bits and pieces of glass, some labeled some not, one which had ‘Buffalo NY’ etched in it
• 3 ceramic white tubes with knobs at the end
• a clothespin
• some very short lengths of copper piping
• A metal mesh ball with a hole at the bottom and a spike at the top

I have no idea what most of this stuff is but I find it fascinating that it was all piled up together in our ceiling.  If you have any thoughts let us know!  More Detailed Pictures Below:
