Priceless antiquities

"Look at this. It's worthless - $10 from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless." - Belloq, Raiders of the Lost Ark

The contents of the Accidental Duplex are far from 1,000 years old. All of that stuff is also far from priceless. However, a lot of these things are fascinating. The building is full of random surprises. None of these items are as sought after as the Ark of the Covenant, and the Accidental Duplex can be a bit like the hole the Ark came out of, but it is full with just about as many surprises. So far none of them have caused anyone's face to melt or head to explode.

However, it's fun to wonder how these random treasures ended up there. So I am starting a new section called Priceless Antiquities, which will profile all of the curious crap I am coming across in the Accidental Duplex. The first items are the game boards for Monopoly and Clue.



I found these among a pile of mostly tools near the Accidental Duplex's backdoor shortly after entering the building. There were no boxes or game pieces nearby, just a couple of warped pieces of cardboard for board games based on building up real-estate holdings and figuring out a mystery. Further proof that God has a sense of humor.
