The purse, which was originally lost back in the 1950s, was discovered by a custodian making repairs at North Canton Middle School in Ohio.
Patti Rumfola was the owner of the purse and lost it back in 1957 when she was a student at the school.
Rumfola passed away in 2013, but the purse's contents gave her family a glimpse into her life as a teenager.
The purse contained several black and white photos as well as makeup items, a comb, school supplies and a football game schedule.
The newly found purse also contained 26 cents, which became special mementos for her family.
The school said each of Rumfola's five kids kept a penny.
