Hello all,Back in the summer I started a home project of taking my large parlor and transforming it into a Bedroom and large Bathroom.The parlor has 2 fire places and where i needed to frame the bathroom wall i had to remove one of my mantles.So once it was removed,i searched the back of it and discovered these relics.I am not quite for sure how they got there but within over a 150 yrs anything is possible.
The top left item i think is a turn knob from a lantern it reads Silver light, pat.d Mar 4,1864 and Feb,1868. The top right item is a Religious Medal that i am not sure how old it is.
The button seems to be a bone button and than the Large Cent is dated 1836.
The Mercurochrome bottle which is iodine,it reads 22nd and Broadway,Louisville,Ky Pharmacist A.P.Markendorf.The bottle is still corked and full of iodine.
I also found pieces of a letter from Christmas of 1877, but they are very brittle and fall apart at the touch.
It made my day finding this after a hard days work.I have a total of 4 fireplaces and really curious of whats behind the other 3. :P
I hope to make many more discoveries as i check my cellar and other places of interest on my property.
