Searching an abandoned attic for treasure! Part 7 

"Is this hair dye?" Probably funniest moment on Curiosity Inc. ever....

😮thinking the same thing

@@Kimella777 me too, so funny, i was dreading he would unwrap the actual cap 🤑

So funny.

Me, too!! Haha!!

I remember when Kotex boxes were wrapped in brown paper at the drugstore in the 60"s.

Found it kind of odd that it was used and wrapped up in the attic

@@carlaopp9774 And condoms were called, French Safes" and sold behind the counter in drugstores in Canada.

@Julia Harper It could have been the doctor's demonstration model that was kept wrapped between showing it to patients. Diaphragms were a restricted medical device that required a prescription.

@James Davis Alex strikes as conservative, and if having 3 children is any indication, not a prude.

Melissa might be too young to know what that is.

​@mimiso2522 yeah I've never seen one

😂 me too!

me three

Me four.

For once I knew what old thing was and Alex didn't. He needs to mention this in his next live feed.

😂

I would buy it! I kind of hope it goes to auction

Lmao. :D Oh, he's probably going to be asked about the minute it goes live! :D

Yes, all of us who do genealogy were probably having anxiety attacks during the paper rummaging. Hope Alex turns that stuff over to the local genealogy society

Yes YES YES

This, happened in another video.. He was mashing up potentially historical and invaluable vintage magazines. : (

Ahh! Yes! That was really stressful to watch. Has been doing it in every video. He put a tear on the 1930’s newspaper too 😭

I nearly turned off the last video and this one watching you literally tear the antique/ vintage papers. PLEASE be more gentle with this important part of history and send the entire boxes to auction for someone else to treasure if you aren't appreciated of the history. 😢

Didn’t Alex think it might be a box of chocolates? Just validates Forrest Gump’s saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” 😂

Alex are you going to take the ceiling light from the livingroom?

Yeah, why were they taped...???

Could be because it did look to perfectly rounded to be a mouse hole.

I was thinking of an old phone wires. We had a hole like that to our basement and it was for the wall telephone in our kitchen.

We had holes like that drilled for the flat television wiring back in the 60's.

Most definitely drilled, mice aren’t that precise.

It was for an old land line phone. I found one when I pulled the carpets in my parents’ house.

Let us know what you find! (Other than wasps nests.)

😂

Hope the jelly didn't go on toast.

Would he do a taste test like with the chocolate??? 😂😂😂

PLEASE make all that available!! It’s junk journal gold!!

I'm a junk journal maker, and I was drooling and gasping at the doctor's journals. What a find for a JJ maker!

Agreed! Paper ephemera is sellable. Or even a local historical society for the medical information.

Sadly, by the time comments like this are made, much of the ephemera that you mentioned is probably already in the dump.

Local Dr.s would love to have some of those old ledgers

Yes I would have made a lit of money with all the paperwork he trow away. That was gold... I would have used it myself as an artist and sell what I have to much off.

🤣

The jelly was superficial jelly

Superficial damned autocorrect

I think he threw it all out.

Yes, I was also thinking that. I had found a box full of doctors equipment and paperwork and the nursing school took it to put it on display. We had to study the working of a diaphragm in school to teach the ladies. So it wasn't something that I ever used. I am 69 and I took birth control pills and later a spiral with hormones. So I never heard of it when I was at school. But we had to study all kinds of things like that. In the history of nursing. Sometimes they could show us the old stuff. I loved it. I would be scared if they put me 100 years back in time to go see a doctor with all his horrible tools... lol. The only old-fashioned thing I used was syringes that were out of glass with needles that were used a hundred times. Luckily a few years later the plastic syringes came into the workfield... and everything was in metal boxes. I see myself as an 18-year-old student, making swaps out of cotton fabric. Cutting and folding compresses. Then put them in large metal containers for sterilization... then the cotton sometimes was decolored.. a little burned... 😂😂😂

He's kind of heavy handed with the ephemera. I love that stuff.

@@bet1568 yes... I almost cried... 😢🤣

​@@bet1568 so many of us Love the Ephemera.

Our doctors office always had the latest Frosst "Dingbat" posters. I actually found a Dingbat desktop figurine advertising one of their pain relievers in a thrift shop. It's a treasure.

Same. All that beautiful old paper. Lots of artists would love getting their hands on it.

I'm not much of a junk saver. To many moves over the years. My mom was one. She had some interesting stuff. She lost most of it when they stored it and the place it was stored in burnt down. So no inherited pieces for us kids.

Old ledger is my "holy grail" find.

Yes, I've visited that museum, and I'm sure they would welcome some of this memorabilia from my little home town.

Me, too!

Yes sell all that old ephemera us junk journalist love that stuff!!😊

I was drooling and crying... don't trow it away... like in a previous episode, he trow away 2 yes TWO... old watercolor boxes. I would adore to have them. Even if the paint isn't good anymore, I would live to have a vintage metal box to put my watercolor in. And put it in my studio. (I am a watercolor artist) I literally almost cried... 😢... such a cool treasure. That's when you see the difference of value that people put on things. Sometimes I say trash and he pits it in auction and sometimes he say trash and I start crying and take myself a drink... 😂

Please keep, sell or donate the journals, old WWll letters etc. I have my parents letter exchanges for a two year period when my dad was on an air craft carrier in the early 1950’s. One note I will never forget started “how’s every little gripe today?” That was my dad asking my mom…..and oh so true of her character. I was able to put the letters somewhat in order, some letters overlapped. I compiled a book that I gave to family members. I have the original letters but they got a small memory should they want to keep it.

And the diaphragm should go to Texas. 😂😂😂

Me too

I'm afraid the biggest money he could make in that house is all that ephemera that probably went to the dump. Us junk journalers would scoop that stuff up on Etsy.

Ow yes... that is gold he trow away. I would live to search in that dumster at night... 😂

@@annnoyez Exacty! Gimme' a call we'll go dumpster diving 🤫, lol

@@poodlegirl55 No kidding! Wow! In the past, he found a guy on Etsy that sells vintage clothing who bought van loads of it from a different hoarded house, perhaps he could find an Etsy shop that would like to buy the ephemera...🤔

@my take at The Lake unfortunately I live in Belgium... will be hard to set a date... or a place... 😂❤️

😂😂😂

LOL

He threw it all out. I think also the old war newspapers and all the paper dolls.

@@deleila_charlie2068 😭😭😭

@@deleila_charlie2068 So super sad! Unless it was moldy!

Lol Would love to be a fly on the wall when he reads this or finds out what it is. How red will his face get? ha ha

I know,it's a cap,couldn't stop chuckling when Alex never clicked, hahaha 🤣

Plus I loved the vibrant art on the old calendar

😂 OMG he is going to be so sorry he left that clip in. 😂 I wonder if this doctor was a gynecologist? There are a number of female-specific medical devices and samples.

@@janethrindo3418 So funny. By the way, my brothers were born in 1963 and 1965. I can remember opening the little pink clamshell plastic case and asking my mother what it was. My mother then tried the pill which at that time was harsher back then and many like my mom could not well tolerate. I still also remember my dad sitting with an icepack on his crotch after the vasectomy. Alex, thanks for the memories. LOL

I don't want to make anyone sad. Everything I have, I'm taking with me. 👍

@@GuyWithTheDogs don’t blame you .

A local Medical Society or Medical School would love to have some of that stuff for their museum.

Dying to know what was in them

I think when he goes back he needs to open them. Who would store empty boxes in an attic?

I'm interesting in discovering the history of my home that was built in 1922. I'd appreciate some pointers of how to find this information.

....and now maybe we know what the "pre-marital pathological samples" were that were never sent :(
