Fortune Hidden in Antique Book Found in Rag Fair
A poor boy bought an old Le Voleur magazine for four pence at a rag fair in the east end when it concealed £6000 in bearer railway securities. The money belonged to Hans of Vangherd and was found by the boy’s family, with a Paris dealer aiding in the concealment and a misdirected hoax. The nephews, unaware of their potential inheritance, later learned of the fortune.
