That is, without a doubt, one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Wow.

✨Beautiful✨

Who in his right mind would cover this with linoleum?

That's no way to speak of your MIL. ;-)

That’s SO COOL! Restore it and keep it! All you need is the cards and the pieces… :)

who would put wallpaper over this :o

That looks very intricate for the 1950s. I wonder whether it is older.

Ka-CHING! What era are they from?

I hope you kept it, that's really nicely made.

That’s amazing!

I hope he made it ♥️

Score!!!

A fancy grip on a machete blade. Souvenir?

Sweet

OMG I have one of those! It's right here on my desk! Same TV design, same picture, same everything, except that the blue and white are swapped around for some reason. It was indeed part of a dollhouse set my sister owned, which I decided to keep for sentimental reasons. I believe our mother has the rest of it stashed away for the nephew to play with when he comes over.

What is it?

Grrooooovey, baby!

I think that's way cool!

What is it with old houses and monopoly? Cool!

now that is awesome.

The locksmith never loses.

Talk about a homebody…Sorry I’ll let myself out

Better a basket of silverware than a basket of old bones, I always say

That’s amazing!

It still uses inches instead of cm. Must be from a very old time 🤔

The original owner of Battani Furniture died August 30, 219 at 87 years old. I found the obit for her https://www.ilesfuneralhomes.com/obituary/Mary-Battani/Madrid-Iowa/1856453

My grandmother had one for sewing. My grandpa threatened "You want me to get the yard stick?" As a form of keeping us in check. He NEVER hit us though. Back when people actually obeyed the unknown fear of parents and grandparents:)

I remember when we used the three digit system and still had party lines. And you could dial 0 for the operator and ask for the a letter and the three digit exchange but you were also listening to other people's conversations and they were listening to yours as well! Talk about lack of privacy. I think that's why I appreciate privacy as much as I do but I'm also open because everyone already knew everything. I didn't care. You just never told secrets.

6? that's the whole number?

I still remember my Grandparents phone number. 349m and it was a 3or4 digit partyline. I'm 73.

I date a lot of things by their phone number.

A yard and a meter are about 8.5 cm off. It's honestly not that hard.

Walling off a section of the basement has some serial killer vibes 😬

Betty-Jean was hiding her stash, given to her by her boyfriend (?) from her parents.

Whilst these notes stopped being legal tender in 1996, people should still be able to pay them into a UK bank account. If they aren't accepted, then they can be exchanged at the Bank of England counter in London. However, it is also possible to sell the notes, and they are worth more than their face value.

It fits you spectacularly!!

see if you can track down the family, that's quite important.

That looks like Imperial Japanese army. Looks like the leather grip is gone, otherwise it looks a lot like a Noncom or lower rank officer Katana. Probably a war souvenir.

Well that didn’t age well

Cute

Wall mural?

Smoking hot wall insulation!

Where they put the “different” child??

....why are there three pics?

Interestingly, (and I could be wrong here), this looks like a Latin textbook written in Italian.

Honey, I'm home!

The old steel cans. Pretty awesome.
