It’s amazing to realize that some of the things that surround us or are stored somewhere in old boxes are older than us, and have seen events that we only know from stories or books. A 1945 newspaper or a coin that is more than 100 years old – the language does not dare to call these items just rubbish, because they open a real portal to the past. We have collected examples of such things for you.
