20 People Shared What They Found In Their Grandparents’ Attics And They Are Quite Interesting
Sorting out old stuff doesn’t always have to be boring. For example, George and Betty Davis were cleaning their attic and found a man-shaped figure which was created by Faberge and ordered by Nicholas II of Russia. Later, this figure was sold at an auction for $5.2 million. Of course, not every person’s attic hides some treasure but it is possible to find a lot of other things which may not be as expensive, but quite interesting!
1. While digging through their grandparents’ attic, one Reddit user was taken aback by the green glow emanating from a wine glass. It turned out that the glass dated back to 1911 and was made with uranium; when it was exposed to UV light, it glowed a bright green color!
