Why do I have the feeling some of these items will be on e-Bay before long?

 

Someone still has to be paying taxes on that house. Otherwise the state would have taken it over and had a huge estate sale. It is pretty eerie though that they just split just like that.

 

love to metal detect the yard.

 

Yeah agree, and it makes me ask why someone does that? Why pay for something for 50 years when it's just abandoned?

I dunno why but if it was me taking those photos I would have shat my pants in horror. Abandoned homes creeps me out.

But Boy would I love to salvage vintage items from such homes. Maybe not gold value but definitely retro value for sentimental reasons.

 

Photo of interest from the house....
how many of you can identify the razor?

 

Valet Autostrop?

 

Creepy man.

 

Yup. Valet Autostrop (model VB1 Open Comb, adjustable). I've got one:

 

This was from last year, the owners fled the advancing German Wermacht early in WW2, house untouched for 70 years.
