Every now and then even a state wants to do some “spring cleaning”. In Maryland it was a bit early, but definitely beneficial to the state.
State Comptroller William Donald Schaefer announced that auction sales from 423 unclaimed property items, from abandoned safe deposit boxes, generated $86,500 on Saturday, February 4th.
The total appraised value of all items in the auction was $52,131. The single most valuable item purchased was a $3,400 diamond ring.
Proceeds from the auction go directly to the state’s general fund, which last year generated $24,232.03.
