Lipton, Newell & Trusdell Binghamton N.Y. paper label, McTighe Grocery Company Binghamton N.Y., E-J Workers Johnson City Endicott N.Y. Old Homestead Brand for International Coffee Co. N.Y. These had been tied together and sewed into an ottoman I found at an estate sale. Paints generally in good condition because they were enclosed in cloth for a hundred years, but they all suffer some degree of minor denting. Anyone know how to undent them w/o damaging the paint? Also, open to selling these individually/together, shoot me a message. A slightly nicer E-J sold for 175 on ebay recently.

Curious what the ottoman looked like before these were extracted?

Well, this is certainly a great story. Kind of reminds me of that Friends episode with the living thing in the red chair that they picked up off the curb. Your experience turned out far better. Did you make tv? How about posting a pic of one of those Coke stock certificates? Congrats on a great find! ..Have an urge--I'm going to DDs.
