I played with Structo trucks like that at my grandmas when I was a kid. She would pick them up at garage sales so we would have something to play with when we visited. Hotwheelsbob may be my KZbin name, but I was collecting Matchbox and Budgie before Hotwheels cars ever came out.

Those hand painted plaques in the last box reminded me of the ones we used to paint during the summer programs at Elementary schools. Each school had older teens supervising the playground for stuff like 4-Square, tether ball, softball, on the playground, & in the afternoon you could buy yourself a plain plaque to paint. I had forgotten the parks & recreation programs for kids. They kept us occupied & out of trouble.

I'm astonished at the great condition most of these items were in, particularly the old books. These folks obviously took great joy and great care of the things they found to be treasures. I'm kind of saddened by the opinions of some of the people who are lamenting that the family saw fit to part with some of the items. Sadly, those who inherit the contents of the house don't have the space to properly maintain them, particularly if the home they came from had to be sold in order to pay the debts left by the dearly departed. I have a houseful of things that I treasure and my children don't see the value in them. Many of them don't have great monetary value and are of value to my memories of my grandparents and parents. Alas, we have been entrusted with so many things that we cannot use and have no way to display. So, in boxes they sit, getting no enjoyment from anyone. It is not possible to know how hard it was for the next generation to come to the decision to part with these things. Perhaps they viewed them as things they would love to hang on to but couldn't give good tribute to. There is only so much that we, the ones left behind can bring in without ending up on an episodes of one of the hoarders shows. I gasped aloud at the US Silver Dollar and I don't know if it was this video or another where there was a rather large one cent US. I would love if I could visit this man's shop. So many things tripped my memory switch. Of course, then, my children would later come along and not know the "value" of so many of the things I have. I would love to sit them down and tell them the story behind each piece, but they do not have the attention span to listen. All they see is "mom's stuff".

do a household inventory, with a photograph of each item or collections and write down or record the story that goes with them as best you can recall. Mom and I used to do this somewhat, and she also put sticky notes on many things, as I found later. It was a great help with some things that even I had forgotten what she would say about them from time to time. I am doing this with my stuff too, since my boys are grown and gone and not around to use or hear me talk about the things. Wish we had done more, but what was accomplished was a huge help. I was able to 'repatriate' some family items to other relatives, who got a wonderful stroll down 'Memory Lane', because of the sticky notes on them. found quite a few item I had never even seen before, (and I thought I knew all Mom and Dad had!). Lots of WW2 things from both their times in the Navy, that I didn't even know existed! amazing what you find in bottom bureau drawers and old trunks and desks! Enjoy the process. If you can do it with a family member or a friend makes it more enjoyable and if people have passed away, it takes away some of the emotional tug of doing it by yourself and no one to share the memories with. all the best.

Having helped clear my Grandma's house I'd also say that many of the things that she lovingly packed away have no emotional connection to me, so it's not always obvious why future generations get rid of things that previous generations held dear. Best thing I got from the house was a fairly modern clock with electric hour alarm, every time I hear the alarm I can vividly recall her dining room (where the clock lived). It has zero monetary value - it was cheap when she bought it, but immense emotional value. :)

I rode many a mile with my grandpa when I was a kid, it was allowed by the company, he had the Wichita to Texarkana route for years, Wichita to Oklahoma City, and Wichita to Pueblo Colorado.

I was curious about the laundry bag and did a little research. Turns out that the use of the word “laundry” to mean "articles that need to be or have been laundered" (as opposed to a room to wash clothes in) is from 1916 (according to an etymology website). So Klotilda was being very modern when she embroidered that and it’s therefore probably a very early example of a “laundry bag”. I find that interesting anyway...

Period dramas tend to expose us to big scale laundries washing linens in huge vats, and maids hanging out sheets on washing lines - you never see where average ladies keep their laundry until wash day!

That Kodak Disc camera is actually a rare thing. Disc cameras were somewhat of a dead-end idea launched in the late '70s running through to the early-mid '80s and they were expensive, certainly by the standards of point-and-shoot cameras and a top-of-the-range ones easily cost as much as a nice SLR. Needless to say not many were sold in the UK, and having the film developed and buying replacements were also very expensive...

The little microphone in the suitcase goes to a cassette recorder so you could make a voice tape. It's from the late 60s- mid 70s. People didn't make videos back then. Cam corders weren't around yet. The only portable video equipment was a reel-to-reel back pack unit that weighed about 40 lbs. and a two piece camera that you balanced on your shoulder. The whole thing was very awkward. Those only recorded in black and white. Sony eventually came out with a color port-a-pack in the mid '70s but they cost around $3500. Don't know how much that is in today's dollars, but I know at that time you could buy a new van for $4500. Once they came out with VHS cassettes video cameras got a lot lighter and cheaper.

I have one of those Diawa mini cast rod and reel kits, bought around 1980 and still use it

The laundry bag is a beautiful combination of satin stitch and stem stitch, completely worthy of going into a museum's textile collection. I suspect the tin-toy bear might be an American National Park Service Smokey the Bear; his ranger hat is distinctive. The belt-buckle buses are early-80s MCI MC-9 Crusader IIs; Greyhound Canada bought and operated a ton of them. The horse-head buckle indicates Scotty was a member of Teamsters local 362. The big copper coin is an Imperial Russian 5-kopek piece, badly worn. The double eagle on the front is nearly gone. The other two you couldn't read are 2-kopek and 1-kopek pieces. The American silver dollar is a Morgan, 1894-S (San Francisco mint). Hooboy ... ALL the Little Elf and Little Golden titles in the world. I didn't see a one later than 1960. Man, you hit the damn jackpot on tin toys! I don't think that motorbike was ever even played with. Find you a replacement headlight bulb and you _will_ be golden. What are the odds that some of these European bits (e.g., the clogs) are souvenirs Scotty brought home from the big war? I think the Indian chief profile and the tree medallion were possibly "things Wayne made at school" saved the way you do save things your kid made at school.

And for unboxing, you would have both hands free if you used a tripod. Just a suggestion.

Clogs from 1945 aren't going to be from a holiday trip especially with a WW2 jacket in there.. I just thought that was a little funny

Just wanted to say I love reading these comments about Canadian soldiers. So much of our history isn't taught in our schools anymore, always teaching American history instead. My husband loves learning all things historic and I have learned more because of him than anything I was taught in school.

That’s so crazy! The person who made the sack has the same last name as me. It’s Zehner (the cursive n looks like a m). Pronounced Zane-er (German I do believe). It’s not a very common last name so it’s interesting to find a connection

Yes, your name is German. It means a quantity of ten, or groups of tens. (Zehn is the number ten.)

Don't throw out that paperwork you might find people who might pay a few bucks for it or donate it to charity. Search Junk Journals or art journals on KZbin and you will see what I'm talking about. These girls love using this kind of stuff in them! Especially card type things they make pockets and put smaller things in them.

I was young we had plaster paris rubber mold and we would put them in a glass so they hung. Pour the plaster paris in and poke out the bubbles. I think that what you Indians and the scene are. We then painted them. Lots of fun. People that do junk journals love the epherma form travel brochures and especially old papers that are receipts and etc.

As you’re looking through the children’s books, the fourth one from the very end is actually smoky the bear. The illustration looks just like that bear with the shovel. It’s smoky the bear!

I said "oh cool a pocket knife" Nope not going to look at it. I guess you think of this handy tool as a dangerous weapon? I really wanted to see that thing, the sheath looked nice. From what little bit I did see of the knife I'm guessing it's a $60 Buck.
