Pssst.. Look..!! It's John's wallet.. Guess what's in it ?? |

I really have been enjoying myself looking at Swapatorium website.. The link is for a wallet bought in an estate sale. The owner apparently "left or left IT" in 1952.. Don't miss the Poll Tax receipt:scared: http://swapatorium.blogspot.com/2005/03/whats-in-your-wallet.html

1. poll tax in Harris County, TX in 1852. wow. sad. |
|
what a neat website idea though. it was interesting seeing the items in his wallet...makes you want to know more about him. it's interesting what we already know just by seeing a few papers and cards.

I just had a "Jay and Silent Bob FLASHBACK"
"...JUSTICE: 'well, maybe he just has manners!'
Cut to JAY, screaming at a female passerby: "Hey, Baby, you ever have your *ssh*le licked by a fat man in an overcoat?"..."
ROFL
THX for mentioning that site! The purse my GF is currently carrying had some reciepts in it from 1952; I thought they were cool but I had no idea that there was a site to share them on. Next time I'll know!

5. I still have a purse that my grandmother carried |
|
and all the stuff she left in it...even the wallet with the small amount of money.. She died in 1961.. It's like a little time capsule:cry:
