Family history is being rewritten: This old receipt reveals a previously unknown detail.

Fascinating what a man from Tyrol suddenly had in his hand.
He found a receipt that was around 80 years old and told him something about his company.
Schwaz – This discovery sparks pure nostalgia.
There is still a reference to the telephone on the receipt and the payment was made in Reichsmarks.
“A surprising find,” is how the current owner captioned it on Facebook. He came across an ancient receipt from his company.
Discovery in a family business: receipts from the 1940s reveal a little secret
He specialized in Solingen steel goods, but his grandfather Rino Chesi also sold “silver cutlery, travel accessories and perfumery” in Schwaz (Tyrol).
Today Andreas Vylet runs the traditional company, he is a master grinder, protects his family's legacy and has expanded the range of products.
An insight into the history can be found on the grinding shop's website.

Vylet clearly values the legacy of the family business.
A not entirely unimportant piece of information, but he only learned it when he came across the antique receipt.
By the way, a much more appetizing find than the 100-year-old chocolate bar that a woman found under her bathroom floor.
Suddenly a big birthday: receipts reveal that the company is 140 years old
“The receipt tells me that our company will be 140 years old this year!” says Vylet happily.
And in fact: the illuminating entry is written small under the company name.
“Founded in 1884.” A big birthday is coming up for the grinding company.
Until now, Vylet had apparently assumed that his great-grandfather Labano had founded the first grinding shop in the Schwaz district in 1892, or at least that was the story on the website.

When the company was actually founded was probably a bit of a secret until now.

“Great, your find!
We have to celebrate,” writes one woman.
“Great memories with Rino in the Hermitage,” muses one male user.
Lock for six Reichsmarks - but one detail is missing
However, one detail still remains open.
When exactly was the castle sold for six Reichsmarks?
The seller did not enter the date at the time.
The form only says the decade: “Date: … 194 …”.
Day and exact year are missing.
Old receipts often reveal interesting stories from the past.
For example, a long-forgotten payment method or how much prices have changed.
