I noticed something behind the trim. I managed to pull it out, and it was half of a photo taken in 1919! I recently found the other half in the family bible along with old calling cards and a stevengraph bookmark! Old houses can hide alot of stuff!

It was all inherited but so "well loved" for generations that few clues remain. A qualified antiques appraiser ($$) could help with dates and regions that perhaps I can connect to my ancestors.

It's about 400 years old, and stopped as a farm in the 1980's. My dad found a perfectly preserved corner cabinet in our old barn which my great grandfather built in the 30's. The cabinet had an inscription that said "1697"! Really old. Inside he found even more old stuff. A bible from 1862, and a piece of paper that contained information about all of my ancestors on my father's side back to the beginning of the 1600's. It's quite a big barn. Who knows what more is hiding :P I’m a 16 year old who live on an old farm in Audnedal, Norway. It’s about 400 years old, and stopped as a farm in the 1980’s.
