OMG I know EXACTLY how that feels.

My grandfather passed away when I was very young (I was 7 I think), and my grandmother passed away in 1998.

My grandfather used to own his own business (it was a very unique business he was the only one in the state to do this particular thing), and when my gram passed away we were all saddened to find that there was no remaining business cards or posters that were used as business ads for grandpas business - we always thought there were at least some left somewhere, but they were all gone.

So as we were cleaning the house and deciding who gets what there was this very large very ugly painting above the couch - it was one of those gas station paintings that people were given free with a fill-up all those years ago.

Everyone else wanted to just throw it out, and it did actually sit outside near the grabage bins for 2 days, but the frame my grandpa used on the ugly painting was great, so when I came to help with cleanup and clean out I brought it back in from the garbage and took it apart because I wanted the frame...

...and lo and behold, I found 10 business posters behind the ugly painting. He had used them to so that the thin ugly painting would fit in the big thick frame.

10 business posters - and he had 3 children and 7 grandchildren - and they were all in perfect condition because they were protected behind the ugly painting for over 30 years. So now we all have an original business poster that has been matted and framed properly in our living rooms. They are so old that the phone number for the business has only 5 digits.

It's so amazing and so bizarre, just like your find Keggy. So I guess our stories can be a lesson to people - don't ever throw out anything in a frame until you take it apart.
