Purse Lost in 1957 Found Behind School Locker After 69 Years

In 2019, a custodian at North Canton Middle School in Ohio found a red purse stuck behind a locker during maintenance. The purse belonged to Patti Rumfola, who lost it as a student in 1957. Patti passed away in 2013, but the school contacted her five children and returned the purse. Inside were her ID card, old photos, ticket stubs, coins, makeup, a comb, and chewing gum, typical items for a teenage girl back then. Her kids each kept one of the nine coins as a keepsake.
I fucking love beech nut gum
So Patti still misses her purse? sad
This is cool as hell. I love old packaging and mementos.
Too bad she isn’t around to give it back. She’d probably be so confused.
Last pic looks like the necklace from titanic lol
That gum is still good. Try it.
I love time capsules.
That is a beautiful pendant I wish they had a picture of the actual purse!
Nice pictures, but kind of rude to go through somebody’s stuff like that
Accidental time capsule 😄
That’s a long time to be lost. I’m glad they found him.
That $.15 was enough for a down payment on a house….
It’s like opening a time capsule.
Noice.

Was the gum still good?
The tickets were cheap
This story is like 8 years old.
Simpler times.
It was Eddie Haskell. She turned him down.
i just know girly was pissed as hell when she lost that
Wow. Patti was a serious cutie.
Homeboy has 2 radios, must be important
Those 2 dimes are worth more than face value given they’re from 1957 or before and are 90% silver!
Maintenance guy was cool. He ditched the condoms and hotel room key.
Well isn’t that nice.
