During the renovation of the building, the owners of the old house decided to ask their friends if they needed things that had been lying unused in the attic for many years and were now likely to be thrown into the trash. One of the family’s acquaintances was a man who agreed to come and see the warehouse. His attention was attracted by an old iron box: a massive chest stood in the attic as a table.
The owners were not too interested in the contents of the box. According to the elderly couple, they received the box with the house, when they bought it 30 years ago, and simply stood in the dusty attic as a table. Now they decided to redo the attic and began to dismantle things that were no longer needed.
The man, upon closer inspection, realized that the box was a structure that looked more like an old safe with a fairly reliable lock. In the same attic, several other boxes were found, they were opened quite easily, but nothing inside was not to be found.
But the iron table surprised the man. The table turned out to be an old safe – inside there was old money: it was English money.
It is not known how they ended up here, but the elderly owners of the house were as surprised by the find as the man.
When calculating, it turned out that for 30 years the “table” had stored about twenty thousand pounds sterling inside. The total amount was divided, the real owner was unrealistic to find.
The amount, although small by today’s standards, it turned out to be very useful when rebuilding an old attic.
