Pop deals in antiques and we found a 1908 wrapped in a bank bag stuffed in a secret compartment of an old letter desk. he had it appraised. $950 i think. SN put it in a 1924 run.

Would love to hear the story behind that.

I read a story a few years back about some old building in Detroit that was being demolished. Before they hit it with the wrecking ball they were stripping out all of the copper pipe and wire and ran across a couple of Tommy Guns tucked away in an old air return vent. They had probably been there since Prohibition.
