I bought a box of miscellaneous radio parts at the antique radio club  
auction and discovered a couple of cigar boxes at the bottom.  One had  
a half-full pint of  rather common bourbon in there.  I guess the  
fellow was hiding it from the wife.  Or maybe he used it to clean  
contacts with.  WAY back when I used Scotch and pipe cleaners to  
refresh my pipe.

Another find was a photo of a damsel hidden in the middle of a radio  
book.  Judging from the time frame of the book, I'd say it was about  
medium EX rated at the time.  The owner of the book and photo no doubt  
thought it a safe place to store such a thing.
