Scottpat Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 This is what I found in a "root celler" of an old home I just inspected. I had to back into the space and once I got down the narrow chute I was able to turn around. Most of the dates were in the 1920's and from what I understand the celler had not been accessed in over 50 years.

Mark P Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Very Nice. I bet someone would pay a bit of money for those in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yes, it is a good find. When I find papers, the stuff is usually badly yellowed and delicate as mosquito wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 All I can think of it that it was dry and dark inside the cellar. Many had become a snack for some termites and beetles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
