Illinois Treasurer, Dan Rutherford, announced on Thursday that their agency will conduct an auction of thousands of unclaimed property items. These treasures were sent to the state agency by banks and credit unions when owners of safe deposit boxes could not be located. The week-long auction will begin on Monday, March 26, 2012 and end on Sunday, April 1st.
You may sneak a peek at the coins, rings and jewels at this Facebook page.
The auction site will be hosted by IBid and a link to it is available here.
The proceeds from the auction will be placed in trust for the original owners of the safe deposit boxes. If you would like to search for your name in Illinois’ Cash Dash database, click here.
