Imagine an antique Victorian desk purchased for £30, that has a stuck drawer.  A determined auctioneer, working on the drawer with a screw driver for around 20 minutes, managed to un-stick it only to find that the object blocking the drawer was a small bone cribbage board with a label on the back that read:  ‘The cribbage board used by Victory Nelson & Admiral Quilliam.‘   The cribbage board had been hidden in the drawer for more than 70 years.  The cribbage board will be auctioned and is expected to attract bids of several thousand pounds.   Thanks to Alaric Bond for passing along the article.
