That Odd Item in your Loft Could be Worth a Fortune
We’ve all done it – come across boxes of apparent junk hidden away in the loft that we’d totally forgotten about.
Well those boxes could contain hundreds, maybe thousands of pounds worth of antique and modern jewellery.

The firm has a number of unusual items up for sale at its next antique and modern jewellery sale on Thursday 18th October.
They include five Russian egg pendants. The hinged pendants are being sold individually and could fetch up to £100 each.
They can be viewed at the firm’s website http://www.fellows.co.uk, and in its online catalogue at http://www.fellows.co.uk/ShowAuction.asp?sAuctionNumber=908.
The eggs themselves are fascinating:

Easter Egg (Media) $92.4 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, injoke or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program, web page or video game. The term was coined according to Warren Robinett by Atari after they were pointed to the secret message left by Robinett in the game Adventure. It draws a parallel with the custom of the Easter egg hunt observed in many Western nations as well as the last Russian imperial familys tradition of giving elaborately jeweled eggshaped creations by Carl Faberg which contained hidden surprises. This practice is similar in some respects to hidden signature motifs such as Diego Rivera including himself in his murals, Alfred Hitchcocks legendary cameo appearances, and various Hidden Mickeys that can be found throughout the various Disney Parks. An early example of this kind of Easter egg is Al Hirschfelds Nina. Ataris Adventure, released in 1979, contained what was thought to be the first video game Easter egg, the name of the programmer (Warren Robinett).
