Stranger Returns Man’s Lost Wallet…65 Years After It Was Dropped

Have you ever unexpectedly found a lost earring or missing watch that you thought was gone forever!

The feeling of finding something you thought was gone forever is a great one. So, the one Edward Parker received upon having his wallet returned 65 years after it went missing must have been a great one.

Parker dropped his wallet in 1950:

However, this year, almost seven decades after the item was lost, a repairman was doing work on the bookcase and found the lost wallet. It was a relic of the past and a perfectly preserved time capsule.

For example, the wallet contained a typical business card of years gone by.

You’ll notice that it has the man’s name and address, but no phone number, since this wasn’t the custom back then:

It also held Parker’s original union card, almost in perfect condition:

Other objects included were old stamps and receipts:

Possibly, the most precious items recovered were old photographs of long-gone family members:

Lastly, the wallet held Parker’s medical card, which allowed the workman to find the long-retired repairman who lost his wallet all those years ago:

This story goes to show that just because something is lost, it doesn’t mean it’s gone forever. If you agree, please SHARE with friends and family.
