Either the sweetest or saddest contents: remnants of a Father's Day card, unsigned. Though I suppose that part could have already disintegrated. #found #history #typography (at Urbana Township, Champaign County, Illinois)

I found two hangers in the #trunk as well. I love how inconvenient the Hook-Up Feature is. #found #history #wwii (at Urbana Township, Champaign County, Illinois)

From the trunk: #WWII era #cookbook & food management guide from Dell Publishing's "Hook Up" series. ("The Hook Up Cookbook" is a great album name, btw.) Part of me wants to cook my way through all the dishes, but there's a high chance they'll taste awful. #found #history (at Urbana Township, Champaign County, Illinois)

Also from the trunk: some Biblical tract type thing called, "The Upper Room." It's #creepy how insects only ate the text from the cover. #found #uncovered #history (at Urbana Township, Champaign County, Illinois)

Reading the #newspaper on a Sunday morning... the society page in the Thursday, February 7, 1952 edition of the Champaign-Urbana Courier, #uncovered in an old trunk in my attic. There's no floor up there, so I had to hop from beam to beam...I can't imagine such a feat was easy with a large steamer trunk. #found #history #champaign #urbana
