I'am reupholstering and found a gum wrapper. Bloodberry gum. Never heard of it. Went on line and the only thing I found was a glass case that said " Bloodberry Gum, It will turn your mouth pink!"

Anybody ever heard of Bloodberry Gum?
 
Found a 1929 Standing Liberty Quarter under the back seat of our '29 Tudor one day, and also a 'King's' brand rubber package don't know how far that dates back too. The contents were gone so somebody had a good night:)
 
I remember Bloodberry gum, back in the 50s and it did turn your mouth pink/red. Stayed long on your teeth too.
 
This is part of the fun of acquiring an antique car. When I purchased my 1931, I found an old registration that went back to the early 70s. I found the previous owner and learned a lot about the history of the car. I got back two more owners until I got to the owner who had passed away and the house had been resold. A dead end in the early sixties. Also found an old bridge toll ticket from the 1940s which indicates that the car didn't move very far over the years.

What else have you found in your cars? Ed
 
I found these cold capsules in a door pocket of my town sedan when I removed the old interior. There were still a few capsules left in the box. Anybody want to try one? :eek:

GEEZE Bob, you're quite a guy, just when I need cold medication !
80 degrees here in lalaland last two days ....after three straight nights of hard freeze. And, wouldn't you know ...everybody has a cold..yikes !! Caring for old , a guy gets a cold :D
 
Shewww! I think a lot of that went on back then and today, nothing has changed.
I found an old sales paper with some very good prices and also what I finally figured out to be an Almond Joy wrapper.
 
I was working on my BrInLaw&Sisters 31 S/W Town Sedan this summer. There was an oil change sticker on the drivers door post and it said 11/12/57 66,234 miles and I looked at the odometer and it was at 69,400 and this was Sept 2014. It is all original right down to the interior. I was just amazed that it had only been driven 3K since 1957.
 
Found some newspapers sections from 9/1962, houses were cheap and they didn't seem to like Kennedy (JFK) all that much.
Have not got to the back seat yet but hoping to find a cache of 1931 St Gaudens Double Eagles
 
I have a 1936 Ford Eureka Kansas Fire truck No.3 DX sticker April 5 1963 ---5,634 miles Now it has 6,484

They contain "Acetanilide " which was the first aniline derivative serendipitously found to possess analgesic as well as antipyretic properties, and was quickly introduced into medical practice under the name of Antifebrin by A. Cahn and P. Hepp in 1886.[8] But its (apparent) unacceptable toxic effects, the most alarming being cyanosis due to methemoglobinemia, prompted the search for supposedly less toxic aniline derivatives such as phenacetin.
