"Found This Surprise In Our Front Hallway"
"I want to restore but its so much work.... Glass is mostly broken or missing. Outside is covered over with steel siding. Half of me wants to cover it back up and pretend I saw nothing. House was built in 1880. What should I do?"

#45 I found a 1864 Smith & Wesson .32 cal 5-shot spur trigger revolver under the floor boards in the attic of a house I was renting in Amherst, MA in 1992. There was a bag of bullets next to it that was itself wrapped in a newspaper dated 1932. I loaded it and shot two holes through the ceiling ...you know...like an idiot. In my defense, I was nursing a bad cold and drank an entire bottle of Nyquil. When I got better, I patched the holes and sold the gun to a collector for $150.
I'd like to think it was used in an unsolved murder.

#19 Most likely a "souvenir" brought home by someone stationed in the "Pacific arena" during WWII. This was probably a Japanese officer's sword.

I'm not surprised it is still sharp. If indeed it is a WWII era Japanese military issued sword, despite being machined instead of traditional forging they are quality weapons made to last. A very good find!

Clo,
My grandfather brought back a "souvenir" when he popped a Jap at The Battle of Tarawa in 1943. It was a bolt action 30.06 with Japanese inscriptions carved into the stock. I remember firing it as a kid. The recoil literally knocked me on my ass.

How many people actually buy property and then explore it AFTER the fact?
