My town has buildings dating to well before the civil war and when doing reno work, I often find things hidden in attics and crawl spaces. This is very exciting for me. In the building I will call number 9 which I bought and renovated the upper floor in 2012, I found these items. The top Gillette blade boxes and the Johnson's Baby Powder sales display were found in a crawl space under some steps. I have learned that this building once housed a pharmacy. The Johnson's window sales display was in the box it was shipped in to the store in 1913. During clean out, this thin box was thrown on the dumpster pile and sat outside for a week. The stains on the bottom are from the rain. I noticed the display sliding out of the box when the trash was being picked up and was able to save it.
