Aztec workman of Central America: an old

Diamonds Poured Out
1T WAS in an old Saratoga, incidentally,
that Schrader made another of his most
valuable finds Several years ago. he says,
the heirs of an old lady had some antique
luggage to sell. When got there, they were
desperately looking for the jewels they were
sure she had owned.
While the heirs watched, took out the
mirror in the lid of the Saratoga; back of it
found secret compartment; back of that,
another. Out of it poured such pearls and
diamonds as you never saw didn't have to
buy that trunk; they gave it to me-"
Schrader has also become expert in finding
hidden drawers in furniture, and even secret
closets in old houses Not long ago, he was

in minute and half, any trunk lock
ever made. It's common experience for
him to get rush call from some hotel to
open the trunk of guest who has lost key
or forgotten combination
But sometimes even Schrader has been
fooled. Five anxious heirs once asked him to
open II suitcases and trunks of deceased
aunt. The pieces could have been
opened" says Schrader. ''with almost
any key, but the old lady had been
peculiar, and maybe the heirs we're
afraid she'd fastened bomb to the
locks. You should have seen their express
sions when all found inside was lot of
torn-up paper and trashr'
Schrader has found all kinds of things in
old trunks - thousands of love letters, for
instance. But he's discreet. The stories
could tell, he says, but never wilIr'

asked to solve the problem of some valuable
missing papers. The heirs of an 8O-year-old
woman remembered her stories of package
of letters from George Washington, written
to an ancestor. An exhaustive search for
them had brought no results.
Schrader looked at the paintings on the
walls. A contemporary portrait of Wash
ington caught his eye He lifted it from its
hook and found that number of papers
were stuffed between the canvas and the
frame. Collectors reckon the value of his
find at $25,OOO
Pooled the Guests
DURING the war, Schrader was partici-
pant in melodrama involving enemy
agents. Il got frantic call from the bank
that owned certain Park Avenue hotel"
he says. Our ambassador to a neutral
country was staying there. Someone -
apparently spy - had not only rifled the
ambassadors room, but had broken into
the hotels storage basement and smashed
the locks on over hundred and fifty pieces
of luggage. He hadn't taken anything, but

ms unique profession is
an outgrowth of Schrader's
business, which for 80 years
has been the designing, max
ing. selling and repairing of
trunks. He calls the repair
loft above his store - the
Airline Luggage Shop in
New York-''the Museum"
With the shining eyes of the
antique lover launched on his
favorite topic. he describes
its contents: a shoe trunk
handmade by the celebrated

saddle trunk, made by an

the bank didn't want the
guests to know about it.
1T was a tough job be-
cause some of the luggage
had what we call five turm-
bier locks. For a week and a
half my assistants and |
worked there secretly. We
repaired all those locks, and
touched them up so that even
the owners couldn't notice
anything different. The hotel
never had a complaint from
any of them"
One of Schrader's special
assets is his ability to open,
Evening star., 1947-01-12

odd things in old trunks
.- fortunes, for example
Nor all the worlds lost treasure lies
L y buried in some pirate hideaway, shown
on yellowed map marked with an "X."
An uncounted amount is hidden in forgotten
trunks slowed away in dusty attics.
If you doubt this, talk to Frank F.
Schrader, who is the leading - if not the
only - treasure detective in the world. He
has ferreted out, for his clients, over mil
lion dollars worth of money, bonds, jewelry
and valuable papers.
Last August, 70-year old female recluse
died in hotel apartment in New York City
Relatives suspected she had money.
They spent two months ransacking her
two cluttered rooms without success.
Then Scfrader was called in. 1t took
him five minutes to discover that an ancient
wardrobe trunk had secret drawer which
held nearly half million dollars in cash.
