Skelly recently acquired a "top hat" or gentleman's dresser, and this time he found something different.
"I was pulling out the drawers of this very odd piece of furniture, I flipped it around to start sanding and saw this handwriting on the bottom," Skelly said.
He found five handwritten notes on the underside of the smallest drawer of the dresser, the oldest dating back to 1942.

The notes range from comments about the weather to details about daily family life. All but one are written in pencil and difficult to read, except for the most recent note left on June 10, 1982.
