This package spent 40 years in the mail. That’s right, 40 years.

A rumpled parcel was delivered in Australia this week, and it isn’t any wonder it looks worse for wear: It was sent 40 years ago.

According to Mashable, Irene Garrett of Melbourne received a pretty surprising package in the mail: A packet of embroidered uniform patches meant for the Viewbank Tennis Club. The club believes they were ordered at some point in the mid-1970s, and while the postman who delivered the package wasn’t sure what had happened to it, the oily envelope makes it seem as though it perhaps fell behind a piece of machinery and stayed there for a number of decades.
