Here are items that were found years ago in a trunk on my grandmother's farm. The trunk was sitting on a dirt floor, and you know the rest. There was very little left that the termites and mice had not destroyed. So much history lost. The photo (or negative) is on a glass plate. I believe that is of a Confederate Soldier. Also there was a amethyst perfume bottle crudely made , a small milk glass disk with aluminum screwtop lid, and a Reed and Carnrick Peptenzyme bottle with ground lip and aluminum screw top. I know all the items could have been collected and stored in the trunk over several years. Does anyone have the dates of when the glass photos were used? There were a lot of letters, but none salvagable which were dated back in the 1800s.
