The story began with how fellow blogger samsebeskazal, who lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, on the way to the store for some reason decided to look in the trash, standing in one of the most expensive mansions. Mixed in with the debris where he found a lot of books.
Among the books he has found a special edition of "Essays" by Michel de Montaigne in 1947 with illustrations by Salvador Dali in very good condition.
Moreover, the book was published edition of only 1,000 copies, each signed by the artist.
For more than two hours, he and bloggers samsebeskazal was able to find many more interesting things. Rare books cannot be found anywhere else. For example, Alice in Wonderland (published in 1947), a book with pictures and stories of John Lennon and the book of Joseph Stalin (1939).
Completely new lingerie, which survived even the tag. Years, apparently, forties and sixties of last century.
From left to right, top to bottom: new folder with carbon paper, old photos, a report for the UN intelligence, cheap Western Air Lines, notification form from the hotel in France with advertising TWA, envelope with telegrams (most sent from Cyprus), radiogram RCA.
False declarations, bank statements and checks, insurance and letters. Lots of unopened envelopes, dated 1951 year.
How it all fell into the container? Apparently, these were things of the deceased owner of the mansion. A new home buyers (or heirs) did not understand: hired workers from the company for garbage collection, which was also considered the found absolutely nowhere.
