A Utah woman was reunited with a long-lost family charm after she randomly came across it on eBay.
Joan Eccles said her stepfather, Augusto was serving in World War II in 1944 when he sent a pair of matching charms to her and her mother for Valentine's Day.
The charms, crafted using coins, were inscribed and Joan said she has held onto her charm for the past 80 years, but her mother's was believed to be lost after she died in Georgia in 1963.
Joan said she was browsing eBay recently and was shocked to see her mother's charm listed so the family reached out to the seller and discovered it had been purchased at a flea market.
They bought the charm and presented it to Joan as a Mother's Day gift.
