Basement Treasures

During work in the basement, these objects were discovered under the exterior stairs by my contractor Chris.  That area was only accessible from the basement.

All liquor bottles, I looked up the mark on the bottom of one and it was from the 1960s.  My theory is a drunken husband or wife was hiding the evidence.  Also, the item that looks like a paint brush handle was found.  Not sure what it is.

Embossing of George Washington.  

Trophy and case with sliding glass and screws to mount it on a wall.

There were at least two box factories in Everett.  Goldthwaite-Shaw Lumber and Box, and Everett Box Company.  More research is needed to figure out which one.

This was probably used for matches or toothpicks.

This board appears to say Scotty's Everett Debt Store.  More research is needed at the local library.

This horse shoe has been painted blue.  I should probably hang it up at least until the remodel is complete.
