COLONIAL MONEY FOUND SECRETED IN OLD DESK
While taking apart an old desk, years stored at his father’s home, Herbert .Getman found Tuesday, in a secret compartment. a quantity of Colonial money. The specimens are very rare, and have much value as relics. The young man who is a son of Dr. A. D. Getman, was in search of a board from which to make a pair of skees [sic]. An old-fashioned desk, which had long been stored at his home, and which was the property of his mother's great-grandfather, a Dutch settler of the Mohawk valley, seemed to contain the proper material for the skees, says the Oneonta Star.
With a hammer he set to work taking the desk apart. As the boards were, separated there fell from a secret drawer a number of pieces of paper, which the young man found to be most interesting. There were 10 bills, in denomination ranging from $20 to one shilling. All were printed in the period between 1775 and 1778 and nearly all of them are well preserved. Specimens of this .class are very rare and not many are owned in private collections.; it is stated. Severel of the bills bear across the top the line, “Colony of New York.’’ while others are the currency of the State of New York. The intrinsic value of all the bills is about $50. And in the days when these were laid away that amount had a much greater purchasing power than the same amount has to-day. There is little doubt that some interesting history is locked up in these long secreted bills, and the attacks of Indians may have inspired the hiding of them so carefully that they were not brought to light for a century and a quarter or more.
