So I'm cleaning my new house.....
Just bought a house built in 1946. I'm installing drawer slides on some bulit-in drawers in one of the bedrooms. First thing I'd do is take the drawer out and inspect it's condition, make light repairs, then clean the wood frame the drawer rested in. I'm cleaning one of the frames inside the built-in. I find a small metal coin, dark grey, a big 1 on it. It's unreadable so i give it a quick warm rinse (not cleaning). ...................1942 German Fpennig with swastika. My most unusual accidental find. I learned the same family lived here from 1946 until 2010. Must have been a misplaced souvenir that came back from the war. It's oddly poetic that I sold most of my 40% and 90% Kenndys to help buy my house (only kept walkers and bennies, among others of course). Gonna find some time to look around the nooks of my attic even though it was just recently re-insulated. I'll post pics once I get the scanner working..
