She thought that the "lock picking kit" she'd bought her boyfriend for Christmas would be able to crack the case open, but sadly it seemed like the lock mechanisms were broken. So she then decided to use a claw hammer to literally pull the locks off to open the case. "Okay, we've busted it open, now I'm actually going to open it," Chandler said in a video on her TikTok page. As she opened it, she could be heard exclaiming: "It is clothes, I was right! Okay cool." In fact the case was full of children's clothes, with some of them so small that Chandler said they seemed more like doll clothes. Among the haul was tonnes of baby shorts, three matching waistcoats and a gorgeous red pair of dungarees. "I really wonder what the story is behind all this stuff!" Chandler said. Posting her video on TikTok, she captioned it: "Jackpot!!!" People were quick to comment on the video, with some even suggesting they might know what era the clothes were from. "The baby stuff, they look from the 60s," one wrote. As another added: "I was born in 62. Some of my pajama clothing had the same horse print as the horse print){kind=link}
