Here are some of the things that Martin got from his work last week. The boxes were filled with lots of things, mainly food items, cleaning supplies and different ointments. Most of the things were unopened too. For example there was a package of chocolate cake mix that expired in 1967.
I have no idea what you use Orientens 40% Cikoria for, but the text on the back suggested it had something to do with coffee. Another fun thing was the book-like object on the far right, it's a sampler for textile colours from a brand called Herdin's, which is still around today. I also found a stamp which I guess is to be used with wax, it has the text "Aktiebolaget Hakon Swenson Västerås" on it. Hakon Swenson is a name, but it sounds like a mix between Norwegian and American, Aktiebolaget means it's a corporation and Västerås is a town. I don't really have any use for it, but I thought it was fun anyway. To the far left is a package of tatted lace, made in Sweden.

:( I can't read it. I'm only literate in English.
Oh, I'm sorry - I forgot to translate. It's done now :)
Hej Moa,
Jag tror cikoria ar ersatz-kaffe som man drack under kriget eftersom det var svart att fa tag pa riktigt kaffe under krigsaren.
