Granted, they're probably not worth anything, but it was still fun to find them behind the old base units!

First, we found packaging from a broom, The Original Kitchenette Broom by Quinn Broom Works. I sent them an e-mail with these photos.

I also sent the Indiana Historical Society a link to this journal entry since "The Joseph Lay Company, Portland, Ind." is also printed on the packaging and the socity's site was one of the few online sources I found regarding the company on my initial search.

The price tag was hand-written: "$1.75 + tax".

Treasure #2 was a 1974 Glidden Paint Center catalog. There's some funky decorating schemes in there...And the scary thing is, many of them would be welcomed by the designers at Trading Spaces! For now I'm just going to post the front and back cover photos. I plan to scan the pages in so they may be viewed.
