Ready for a blast from the past? Maybe not YOUR past specifically, but like, *the* past? I know I am.
There’s hardly anything cooler than coming across something from yesteryear that makes you feel like maybe it just fell out of a time portal.
And if you find something like that, you’re pretty much duty-bound to do as these good folks on Reddit did and share it with the rest of us so we can all enjoy.

This is just way too much.
This picture of my parents never actually happened, but two separate photos that fit perfectly together

7. Century-Old Crayons
I wonder if they’re still working?
Found these 110(?) year old Crayolas in the back of a family secretary desk. The pack still has the crayons.

5. Bunker Hill Beam
Ok but what if just some punk from the 90’s wrote that?
Architect friends found this beam in an old house in Massachusetts, the date is the battle of Bunker Hill

3. Doodles
I like his style. Very distinct. A lot of chins.

2. Forest Gump Ticket
You can’t even get a movie theater soda for that cheap anymore.

1. The Passport
All that’s old is new again.
My grandmother’s immigration forms from the 1950s look just like Cards Against Humanity

Such cool little treasures for everyone to enjoy. Get out there and get hunting, you never know what you might come across!
If you could leave one thing behind that was guaranteed to be brought out in good condition and examined in 100 years, what would you choose? What would be your hope for that item?
Tell us in the comments.
Thanks fam!
