Here are some old stuff I have at home.
In the 50s, my mother was a boarder in a school.
Each student had a box in the dormitory where to put stuff.
A collection of movie stars photos ...
A tiny calendar ...
My grandfather had recovered this box during or after the WW2.
This is a German army box. Germans left plenty of material after 1945.
These codes were the inspection marks used on military equipment
by the German Third Reich.
These watches and binocles were at my grandparents...a long time ago...
The box is damaged but the binocles are in perfect condition!
This is a book that my dad gave me last week. He loved this book when he was young. Inside there are beautiful illustrations. This book was printed in 1918.
I have several old books. This is probably the oldest. It was printed in 1746!
It's written in 'French old' but it's still quite understandable :)

RépondreSupprimeroh wow,,,
RépondreSupprimerwhat treasures. so interesting. each thing holds a deep history and story with them.
Such treasures! Old, worn, warm and with such good stories. You are so fortunate to have had them passed down to you!
RépondreSupprimerwhat a nice, poetic collection! i've always wanted to spend days at les bouquinistes along the quays of paris discovering old books. i've been to p. loti's house, but never read any of his books. but like yourself, i have brought wonderful paper back from london just to look at!
RépondreSupprimerWow, such an old book. This fascinates me. You also have an old French writer? We have an old font, which is found in old books. I have not learned more, but my grandpa she has shown me so I can read it.
RépondreSupprimerI love your boxes and their contents! And the old books - fantastic! Of course, my favorite part is that it all has a history you know. That just makes it all so much more special.
RépondreSupprimerBeautiful how you keep the treasures of the past with such love!!
RépondreSupprimerSo they feel like life pulses through them.

Lovely story tellers.
RépondreSupprimerIncredible. I have my great grandmother's old spectacles. I was named after her. They are in really good condition as well.
RépondreSupprimerWOW! WOW! WOW! With every photo, it got more and more amazing. What a great treasure you have in those boxes!!
RépondreSupprimerPS ... I had to laugh with your question about RIO! I do not think the Olympics was ever in my future. :)
Quelles belles photos! Intéressant aussi. J'adore les vieux livres et quand j'étais étudiante j'ai lu Pêcheur d'Islande. Bon week-end!
RépondreSupprimerOoooh... drooling over those boxes, and of course the book with vintage etchings in it.
RépondreSupprimerSuch a treasure!
