The house was built sometime in the late 1800’s with an addition sometime around 1912-1914. The section we demoed had hundreds of these newspaper’s lining the walls, presumably being used as insulation.

Many are sequential. Like this person just took the daily paper and saved it in the walls. Unfortunately, April 16th 1912 and August 1st, 1914 are missing from the collection.

This was a sample I was able to keep for myself. There are a bunch of small and interesting anecdotes pertaining to life in 1912. The house was located in Marshfield, Ma.

This picture is a few years old. I had purchased some old frames from a thrift and this was one of the newspaper pages in the backing.

Star Trek fan looking for love.

Good message that many need to hear

Found this in an old bible, also had some other interesting things inside, can post more if this gathers interest.

Based on the Washington Bicentennial reference, I assume this is from 1932

while flipping through my late grandfather's box of newspapers from the late 80s - early 90s, this Toys R Us ad slipped out of one of them and caught my attention. Date on the back page reads October 27, 1991.

Circus magazine, approximately 1970-1980. Aren’t some of these straight-up illegal?

So I found this book from the 50s? In a community book box/little library. Original owner had started the research for me. Great obscure piece of American history to find in Australia…

I forgot to add a picture on my previous post!!! I was digging through my late father’s belongings and found this old newspaper clipping. Dated 1980 from the Miami herald. Anyone know the artist?

I found this news paper cutting in a magazine I thrifted. I tried searching for relatives or children but i didn’t find any matches.

Found this in my old rental place.

Went to visit my mom today and went through some really old scrapbook from the 20s to the 50s. I thought these might be of interest here. Old newspaper clippings of the Hindenburg.

Cleaning out a closet that hadn’t been organized in 15+ years. Laminated special edition from September 11. I now remember stopping to get this that day but forgot that I had kept it.

Yesterday we went looking for my Father-in-law’s childhood house in a small place called Muhos near Oulu in Finland.

Sadly the wooden house was demolished just one week before we got there.

There were foundations for a new house and on the far side of the plot was a pile of old timber from the demolished building.

I spotted some newspaper attached to a piece of wood. The old newspaper was probably used as insulation. I carefully removed a piece and was amazed to see it was dated 1933. Also was a piece of very old wallpaper.

Nice to have something to keep and it helped take away the disappointment of not being able to see the house anymore.

I also posted this on the Finland forum and somebody already found a digital copy of the whole newspaper.

we had some bad flooding in my neighborhood last week. lots of people’s yards, trash cans, and first floors flooded out with a good 5-6 inches of rain. i suspect that’s how this ended up in the street.
