GOLD AND ANTIQUES
FOUND IN OLD TRUNK

If any Brunswickian has an old
trunk hidden away in some remote
corner of the house, it might be well
to open it up. 1t might contain some
thing interesting. if not valuable.
For twenty years the tenants of a
house in Flushing, L. l.. have stumbled
over an old trunk in the cellar with
nothing but the rust on it's lock to
guard it's contents. A workman, max
ing repairs, kicked the trunk and
heard a faint clink of metal. He called
the attention of Laurence 3. Halleran,
son of the late John j. Halleran, of
whose estate the property is a part,
to the sound. Halleran opened the
trunk and found that it contained sew.
eral thousand dollars worth of gold
and silver coins, evidently stored there
by his father, who was a collector of
antiques. In addition to the coins,
some of which bore dates as far back
of $780, the trunk contained odd pieces
of jewelry, antique watches and a
number of medals presented to men of
note in other days. Among the med
ais was one inscribed to George Wash
ington and another that was present
ed to Zachary Taylor by the state of
Louisiana.
