We found a few interesting tidbits in the wall while we were gutting.
Our cutest find, the 2 of hearts. I tore it when I found it.
Our dated find. A May 1926 calender sheet.
In the pantry there were tobacco papers and gas stamps.
Our weirdest find. David thought it was for a horse.
I knew it was for something else.
As I dusted it off, I saw what it said.
Genuine Uterine Supporter.
My interest was sparked and I hit the internet.
A device used for prolapse uterus issues. According to the internet, was a more common problem when corsets were common. Once I told the boys what it was, all they kept saying was "What in the world was it doing in the wall"
What in the world?
I love the calendar.... and that uterine thing is strange... but like history
