One of the more famous treasures worldwide, this one has everything...Buried treasure, the knowledge of the location, the inability to reach it, a curse, a body over a chest...does it get better than this? And it's even in Canada!

A very curious provenance. Still lost, although the pieces of it that have turned up hint, rather tantalizingly, that it's not been destroyed and is still somewhere waiting to be discovered....

Up far, far too early this morning, attempted to go back to sleep with no success, up then for the day. It's 7:15 AM.
First stop the Hillhurst Flea Market - an OK day, found a antique/vintage desk lamp, just needs a plug, but I seem to need lighting as the only time I'm ever home is very late in the evening.
And leaving the flea market, walking east along 5th Ave I come across somebody hammering in an "Estate Sale" sign, and so I pop in to check it out. Main floor, nothing, upstairs, nothing, then downstairs and what should I find but....
A vintage oak bookshelf, complete with original glass, deeper than some other ones I possess and in far, far better condition. $30.00. A steal. There's a dealer downstairs, he's seen it but can't seem to tear himself away from the "free" bin and so I quickly spring upstairs and close the deal.
