I found a family heirloom and something much wilder in the walls of my 100

May 03, 2023

A THRIFT store fanatic has opened up on the treasures she found while rummaging in her nineteenth-century home.

The antique superfan came across the gems while modernizing her Victorian San Francisco property.

In one TikTok clip, curious Evie (@evie_taber) was eager to know if there was anything valuable hiding behind the drawers.

She pulled out all the drawers before looking to see what she could find.

Evie found a little metal tin that featured two poodles on the lid.

The tech sales worker inspected the heirloom closely and revealed it was made in Kent, England.

Evie also unearthed a stunning pearl necklace, bracelet, and picture of a 20th-century female suffrage pamphlet.

However, the next thing she came upon stunned her.

She unexpectedly discovered a bag full of adult toys.

Evie was so disturbed that she could only hold the plastic bag the items were in with two fingers.

Dozens of TikTokers were wowed by the finds that Evie unearthed while she was exploring.

Fans urged Evie to reveal what was hidden inside the box.

Others also shed light on the treasures they had found while searching their home.

Taylor (@lucy_dacat) posted: "My mom found hand-blown 100+ year Christmas ornaments behind a panel under the stairs."

Eric See commented: "The only fun thing I found in my late Victorian was a bag of buttons off an officers jacket from the civil war."

Antique fans have documented the unusual finds they uncovered while renovating their property.

Content creator Kate (@Thevictorianoctagon) revealed she and her husband Cameron found hidden gems behind a mirror that hung above the fireplace, as reported by Newsweek.

In a viral clip, she revealed that she came across a "beautifully preserved" Victorian cabinet card that dated back to 1890-1895.

Kate also came across picture hooks that she described as "beautiful and ornate."

She explained: "These were used to hold long chains that would hang from so you wouldn't have to damage the walls to put up art."

Kate appeared overwhelmed as she said: "I’m just so stunned that we found these gems, I love that this house keeps giving us these little gifts."

In another video, she told fans she found some 1930s Christmas stamps while working near the fireplace.

Tamara Noskov told CBC in 2020 that she and her husband Andrey found several stunning rare art pieces when they were renovating a home in Detroit.

The pair discovered at least 40 original and signed prints and some were produced by the renowned Inuit art pioneer Kenojuak Ashevak.

While one Imgur user (@Branik12) claimed he and his family unearthed a treasure trove worth $23,000.
