Time flies, they say. Oh boy, it does. But it only becomes obvious when you come across something from the past. Quite often, it’s a high school pic of your 14-year-old goth self rocking that camera. That’s a friendly reminder of your cringy legacy full of hopes and dreams before reality hit.

Other times, we come by stuff that’s as old as history itself. And some specimens are weirder than others. Cocaine tablets and a syringe from a 100-year-old nursing kit? Found it. Uranium glassware that glows? Yep. An antique door that helps you find the keyhole in case you’re drunk? Got it. Please enjoy Bored Panda’s compilation of the most amusing objects brought to you from the past by a bunch of people-turned-time-travelers.

Some of us get lucky and find some quirky old pieces of history in the attic or after we move houses. That sounds like a good opportunity to make some quick cash, but there’re some things you should know before selling your item to the antique dealer.

Do some research beforehand—go on the internet to find some information, and evaluate the item’s condition. Keep in mind that in most cases, you’re likely gonna get 20 to 50 percent off the real retail price.

Sometimes, antique dealers will ask you to state a price you’d like to get. So get ready for a little bit of negotiation. Make sure the dealer is genuinely interested in what you have, and you are truly ready to part with it. If it’s a precious heirloom from your family, you'd better think twice before selling it.

The Filament Of This Antique Light Bulb Is Shaped Like Flowers

Proteon Report

You've probably noticed that people use a variety of different terms like vintage, retro, or antique to refer to whatever "old" stuff they have. But these are not synonymous and, in fact, refer to very different things. A true antique, for example, is an object that’s 100 years of age or even older. Every antique item belongs to a different period⁠⁠—for example, Art Nouveau or Art Deco⁠⁠—and these may have a couple of decades separating them.

ADVERTISEMENT

The term "vintage" usually covers older items in general. If you go “vintage shopping,” you're shopping for items that have distinctive vintage styles and usually date to anything from the '40s to '70s. Meanwhile, the term "collectible" is used for newer items that date to the '80s, '90s, and even '00s. The word “retro” refers to vintage-inspired styles and vibes and may be used for art, fashion, graphic and interior designs, and objects.

Beautiful. My dad once found an old globe in a house he was renovating. It was in a right old state. The owner said he could have it as it was only going to be binned. Turns out it was antique and really rare. My dad sold it for £10,000 and they split the money between them.

Interesting Find At A Thrift/Antique Store: Swastika Post Card

Interesting Find At A Thrift/Antique Store: Swastika Post Card

Good Luck Emblem
"The Swastika" is the oldest cross and emblem in the world. It forms a combination of four "L's" standing for Luck, Light, Love and Life. It has been found in 315 B.C., and our own Southwest Indians use it as an amulet.
It is claimed that the Mound Builders and Cliff Dwellers of Mexico, Central America, consider "The Swastika" a charm to drive away evil and bring good luck, long life and prosperity to the possessor.
I tried messing with the coloring in hopes to be able to read the postcard. The original was written in pencil (apparently most post cards were that time). It was addressed to a Mr. Ben Hayley in Massie, Texas. From someone from Pirkle, Texas. From the letter, I could barely make out the sender writing "Wish you were here for my party. I'm so sorry you didn't come by".

Interesting fact re Hitler's use of the Swastika, when he had gained power n 1933 and the emblem was everywhere, a group of Hindu elders wrote to him. Saying "if you continue to use the emblem at that angle (Hitler had moved it 45 degrees) it will bring you bad luck. 12 years later......

I am 46 years old and I remember having a four digit phone number. We used only four digits until I was about 8 years old and then we went to 5 digits. We didn't go to 11 digits (1+ the number) for calls until I was a teenager and that was only for long distance.
