  NOTE TO EDITORS/NOVA SCOTIA MUSEUM--"UNKNOWN TREASURES"
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  Do you have an "unknown treasure" buried deep amongst the
  bric-a-brac of things you've collected over the years? It
  could be something that was handed down or picked up, that
  looks really intriguing but its purpose or age has always
  been a mystery. If there's a chance that it is tied to ships
  or shipbuilding, bring it along to the Maritime Museum of
  the Atlantic on Saturday, Nov. 4 between 1 and 4 p.m. and
  "ask a curator". If museum staff doesn't know the answer,
  they can probably refer you to someone who does. Please not,
  however, that appraisals cannot be done.
  
  Although there is no charge to attend, donations to the Food
  Bank would be greatly appreciated.
