Huge post! Have to split it into two! Lots of things found. Some cross-posted into other parts of the forum, if that's a faux pas I apologise!
Firstly, an old pocket bible. Dated as being bought 1883, so at least that old.
The inside cover of the bible.
The text reads:
"Köpt vid auktion, hållen
under missionsmötet i Skärhus
den 2 Januari 1883,
Tillhörig
Karina Nilsdotter
Skärhus"
"Bought at auction, held
during the mission meeting at Skärhus
on the 2nd January 1883.
Belonging to
Karina Nilsdotter
Skärhus"
Some of the clippings contained in the bible. The clipping on the left is dated 1865!
Next, sock garters. They're much better quality than my first pair, and with a nicer clip for the socks. I found two of these at the same place, both exactly the same.
The box for the sock garters. It states:
"Alltid EMOND Stil och Kvalitet
Bälten
Hängslen
Strumpor
Dressinggowns
Badkappor
Slipsar"
"Always EMOND Style and Quality
Belts
Braces (U.S Suspenders)
Socks
Dressing gowns
Bath robes
Ties"
Next up, some gramophone needles. Bought cheap, and works out much cheaper than buying new needles. Box was still sealed when I found them.
Reads:
"Use in the same manner as a steel needle. Once inserted, the needle should not be removed until it is finally discarded. It should play up to 60 record sides."
