When he was taking it apart to restore it, he found the center post stuffed with Confederate money!

That just brought back a memory for me...When my brother and I were young we found a stash of Confederate "bills" in trunk in our basement. We thought we hit the big time. Turns out that it was some type of give-away from the mid-60's, I think, for Campbells Soup...now that I've past 40 my memory likes to make things up...anyway, we built a little wooden box and buried the "bills" in our back yard...that was about 1975 or so...that house was over a hundred years old at the time and is still standing...I wonder if anyone has ever unearthed that "treasure"...

You know, that kind of stuff brings in big bucks on Ebay. It might be valuable treasure after all!
