That is awesome.

Whoa! That can be worth a good amount of money!

That's pretty awesome. My eyes immediately went to the words "immortal shamrock" on the page on the left. Which is also pretty awesome.

It is Eletelephony, by Laura Elizabeth Richards. Not written by her, of course, since she passed away in 1943.

i love the pictures.. but on the other hand it's kinda sad the families lost those memories..

Awww, that's adorable

Maybe try finding her since the name is clearly visible. She could still be alive you never know!

I don't understand how someone can forget their glasses, the book isn't going to close properly with them in there so surely you would notice something was up.

That was a big loss for whoever lost that

aww this is cute

Aww, poor buddy :( but such a cool find!

Wonder if the exchange actually happened. That would be so cool if it did.

Is the bible in Swedish?

A really gorgeous picture!

that's beautiful.

When the airplanes were closed smoking chambers

This is a currency used in the Philippines when japan invaded our country..

that's f*****g amazing. First the condition of the ticket, and then the beautiful design

I feel the same when I was learning English too

That is lovely. It looks to be cut out so neatly.

Noice!

Love the little "surprise" on the note.

Is noone going to point out that Hazel did not, in fact, keep this book?

That seems like the beginning to a mystery. Now you've gotta go to that hotel, they'll see the key and take you to a weird room in the basement that has a locked box in it that has been there as long as anyone can remember. Inside that box you'll find everything you need to complete your journey.

Cute 😍

One hundred years now

This from an age when "Healthy" and "Harmless" could mean trace amounts of arsenic and lead, high quantities of opium or morphine, and quite a few other unwanted ingredients makes me question it's safety. Good news though, this seems to still be in use (at least a modified version of) and this card is now a collectible. Also, there are no listed problems with this powder, so maybe it really was a safe one.

You might as well jump! ... about finding it (and also I love that song)

An eleven page report ? That should have left a pretty bump in that book !

Never seen a bookworm before (or so I thought) so decided to google and the more common type are what I know them as silverfish.

I showed one to my niece and asked her what did she think it was. She guessed a 3D printout of the save icon.

I feel soooo old.. 😱

"save buttons"

I remember needing 40 of these disks to install something

remember when these 3 1/2 floppy arrive… i was still using the 5 1/4... when i saw these i was… Wow! so cool. later in life i used to double the storage by drilling a hole Under the one already existing.

I'm pretty sure it was sarcasm.

Floppy discs

"save buttons" hahahahaha

Lol. Save buttons. That took me a minute.

Hahaha I still have some in the back of drawers, old archive boxes and a host of other places. As another commentator said "I have no way of reading them" I think they're safer than the cloud!

Wow 2 x 1.44MB storage

.... Oh come on, it's a floppy disk

These aren’t “FLOPPY disks”. They’re “diskettes”.

Snoopy Pupperino, otherwise known as "pup" was a well known gangster specializing in the art of stealing people's hearts. He was nearly caught twice, but escaped both times because he was too fluffy to hold.

On dog dollar is about seven human dollars

I’d take them to a local botanical society or university Botany Department. It’s possible some of those plants have changed in almost 180 years (if these are vintage to the publication date of the book), or may have become rare. Probably not, but maybe. Someone (botanist or botany student?) might be interested in identifying them and comparing them to modern versions.

That's awesome. I love the little piece of paper, so cute.

He' s sexy and he knows it :-)

What is an academic baby daddy?

now you have been able to experience some of the happy moments in other people's lives without them forcing you to

There is some nice background story to this man. Herman van Roijen was a member of the Dutch resistance in WWII and captured multiple times. After the war he became minister in the dutch government. From 1950 until 1964 he was ambassador in Washington where he served 4 presidents. He was known for his undiplomatic openess, was one of the most respected analysts of American Politics. When he left, the New York Times paid tribute to him in a long article on him. I’m very curious what book this membership was found! https://www.parlement.com/id/vg09lljh08xs/j_h_herman_van_roijen
