A collection of antique silver items discovered in an attic in Edinburgh is sold for almost £60,000 at auction, according to multiple outlets. The silver was packed away for roughly the best part of a century, with reporting describing it as hidden for close to 100 years before it was found. The find is characterized as unexpected, with the eventual sale price said to exceed initial expectations. While the sources focus on the overall outcome and the long period the items were stored, they do not provide detailed descriptions of each item or the precise circumstances of the discovery beyond it being found in an attic. The reporting agrees that the collection includes multiple silver pieces and that the auction results culminated in a sale figure approaching £60,000. The story is covered consistently across the publications, emphasizing both the lengthy time the items remained hidden and the strong performance at auction.
