Auctioned Clock Reveals Bank of England Notes Hidden Inside
An old clock sold for fifty cents by Wa Little, an auctioneer at 337 Fulton Street, ended up in Townsend’s Myrtle Avenue shop, then in a Fulton Avenue buyer’s home where a cracked back glass revealed about 3000 pounds in Bank of England notes. Heirs of the clock’s original estate may sue for the money. Queen Victoria’s daughter reportedly wishes to renounce her royal dowry to enter Catholic orders, possibly to attract Portugal’s king.
