Time flies, they say. Oh boy, it does. But it only becomes obvious when you come across something from the past. Quite often, it’s a high school pic of your 14-year-old goth self rocking that camera. That’s a friendly reminder of your cringy legacy full of hopes and dreams before reality hit.
Other times, we come by stuff that’s as old as history itself. And some specimens are weirder than others. Cocaine tablets and a syringe from a 100-year-old nursing kit? Found it. Uranium glassware that glows? Yep. An antique door that helps you find the keyhole in case you’re drunk? Got it. Please enjoy Bored Panda’s compilation of the most amusing objects brought to you from the past by a bunch of people-turned-time-travelers.

#98 Interesting Find At A Thrift/Antique Store: Swastika Post Card
Good Luck Emblem
"The Swastika" is the oldest cross and emblem in the world. It forms a combination of four "L's" standing for Luck, Light, Love and Life. It has been found in 315 B.C., and our own Southwest Indians use it as an amulet.
It is claimed that the Mound Builders and Cliff Dwellers of Mexico, Central America, consider "The Swastika" a charm to drive away evil and bring good luck, long life and prosperity to the possessor.
I tried messing with the coloring in hopes to be able to read the postcard. The original was written in pencil (apparently most post cards were that time). It was addressed to a Mr. Ben Hayley in Massie, Texas. From someone from Pirkle, Texas. From the letter, I could barely make out the sender writing "Wish you were here for my party. I'm so sorry you didn't come by".
