Title: Today’s auction find. An old wallet & 1830’s tax receipts.
Post by: G0ALY on May 11, 2011, 10:18:14 PM

Howdy all. I found an interesting old wallet at a local estate auction tonight. While it was not full of money, It did contain some 1830’s tax receipts... And an odd little prayer.

I see that the tax rates have gone up slightly during the last 170 years.

Wow.  Stop and think what you are holding in your hands.  A piece of history that is 180 years old.  Someone held that in their hands and cussed about taxes back then too.   :)

Great find!
