Is lost £30 million Faberge egg in a British bank vault?

Hi Guys!

Some of you will remember my blog last year about Faberge Eggs. Now, of the missing seven eggs, we might be one step closer to finding the whereabouts of one of them.... The Necessaire egg.

The family of a dead Cold Way 'spy', Dr Maxwell Wilcock, say he owned the bejewelled egg and used to show it off to relatives.

Dr Wilcock, who went under a dozen aliases, lived close to the Wartski jewellers in London where the egg was sold in 1952. It's buyer was listed only as 'stranger'.

Now his cousin and executor of his estate, Robin Maudsley, claims the egg could be in a safety deposit box in Preston, Lancashire. However, Mr Maudsley has contacted the bank but says he has so far received no authorisation to access Dr. Wilcock's possessions. (Source: Daily Mail 06/01/18. Image above courtesy of Wikipedia)

So close, yet so far. Will the missing Necessaire egg be uncovered in a Preston bank vault, or is this yet another wild goose chase?

Stay tuned, and The Emporium will keep you updated. The hunt for the eggs continues!
