A look into the past.
The receipt, which was found by a master grinder from Tyrol, is around 80 years old.
And the note tells him something unknown.
Schwaz – A castle for six Reichsmarks.
This discovery in a traditional Tyrolean business awakens nostalgia.
“Surprising find,” is how the current owner describes it himself on Facebook.
He came across historical evidence of his company.
Ancient receipt from a traditional business in Tyrol surfaced
His grandfather Rino Chesi used to sell Solingen steel goods as well as “silver cutlery, travel sets and perfumery”.
Today Andreas Vylet runs the traditional company, is a master grinder, preserves the family heritage and has expanded the range.
You can take a look at the company's history on the grinding company's website.
Vylet seems to be upholding the legacy of the family business.
However, he is only now learning a not insignificant insight about his great-grandfather.
In comparison, the discovery of a 100-year-old candy bar that a woman discovered under her bathroom floor is less encouraging.
Receipt from the 1940s reveals the date the family business was founded
“The receipt tells me that our company will be 140 years old this year!” says Vylet happily.
And actually: the revealing entry can be found under the company name.
“Founded in 1884.” A big anniversary is coming up for the grinding shop.
Until now, Vylet assumed that his great-grandfather Labano had founded the first grinding shop in the Schwaz district in 1892, at least according to the history on the website.
The actual founding date of the company has been a mystery until now.
Now Vylet has accidentally solved it and others share his joy.
“Great, your find!
We have to celebrate,” comments one woman.
“Great memories with Rino in the Hermitage,” writes a male user.

A detail is missing from the old receipt
However, one detail remains unclear.
The seller did not note the date of sale at the time.
The form simply states the decade: “Date: ... 194 ...”.
The exact day and year are missing.
Old receipts can often tell fascinating stories from the past.
For example, they can point out a long-forgotten payment method or show how much prices have changed over time.
