I bought a locked suitcase from an estate sale… I finally opened it & was amazed by what we found inside
A WOMAN who bought a locked suitcase at an estate sale finally got it open and was amazed at what was inside.
The lady, who goes by the online name of “Mrs Fallout,” filmed herself opening the locked trunk and rummaging around.
The TikTok user took to the social media site to post a short clip under the title of: “Opening a mystery locked box from an estate sale.”
After opening it up the camera pans across some faded papers scattered about on top and then reveals what appears to be an old black and white cub scout photo pinned to the inside of the lid.
The woman, who also has a popular YouTube page, can then be seen rummaging through various bits and pieces that were stored in the suitcase.
At first, she picks out what seems to be a brooch before coming across an old pocket watch, with the caption saying it dated from the 1860s.
She then pulls out a stack of old photographs, with one showing three boys in front of a wooden house, as a caption pops up on the screen saying: “An incredible time capsule.”
In another box inside the trunk Mrs Fallout finds a stack of old boy scout badges along with a World War 1 token which the caption says was made from a “captured German cannon”.
The brief footage comes to an end with the woman saying in the caption: “I didn’t have the heart to separate these items. I left them as a time capsule inside the box to revisit and share with guests.”
Many of her 418,000 followers were clearly impressed by the discovery and the footage has been viewed some 42,000 times and liked more than 2,700 times.
Many commentators went online to say what an amazing find it was.
One person wrote: “Wow, it’s cool!”
Another echoed that sentiment, writing: “Oh wow! That’s awesome.”
A third added: “That is so cool.”
One commentator appeared to know where the items originated from, adding: “This was part of the civilian conservation corps. This camp is out in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, and only operated a few years.”
They added: “1933-41. It was part of Roosevelt’s New Deal which helped people during the great depression.”
The find comes just days after another woman, called Chandler, bought a locked suitcase at an estate sale and was stunned to discover what it contained.
In another TikTok video, a bargain hunter showed how he was able to turn £13 to £213 with a short trip to a car boot sale.
