Attic Archeology

Got to work on the attic today- mostly demolition work.

I tore the boards off the walls to reveal:

Me booty!

No, the stuff in front of her. We found:

• An Oregonian from November 20, 1942 with news of the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal- carefully censored by the War Department, details on the mass poisoning at the state hospital in Salem, as well as a several old advertisements- everything from Fred Meyer and Meier and Frank to War Bonds, rationing news, and Recruitment.
• The “Golden West Coffee” cans
• A Union Club whiskey bottle.
• A can for Snowflake shortening.
• A can of “Fire Weed” honey produced by C. W. Pilkenton of Jewell, Oregon
• A porcelain over tin wash basin
• A Portland Telegram from June 14, 1919 featuring news of Capt. Alcock and Lieutenant Brown’s attempt to cross the Atlantic, a notice that “War Will Be Resumed Next Week if Huns Balk,” and a full-page Mutt and Jeff comic (“Jeff’s Theory Was All Right”
• A June, 1919 copy of the Astoria Catholic Monthly.

Time to fire up the ol' eBay account.
