Oldest mail bag item found after 132 years
« on: March 07, 2018, 02:19:12 am »
On a West Australian beach a Perth familiy found a 132-year-old message in a bottle from Germany.
Originally sent to "That crazy Aussie bloke".  :-DD
(However the addressee couldn't be doubtlessly proven because the label detached during the long time.)
