A rare golden egg exceeded all expectations when it sold at auction for £37,200.
Batemans of Stamford sold the collectors piece for the second time on Friday last week.
The egg was part of a nationwide Cadburyâs treasure hunt which took place in the 1980s.

Twelve eggs were hidden across the country for people to find using a series of clues, but this piece was a secret 13th egg.
It was first sold by Batemans in July 2017 but was put up for auction again by the buyer s family after he died.
Managing director Greg Bateman said: âWe are absolutely thrilled to have sold this unique golden egg for another house record.
A special Cadbury s Golden Egg commissioned for a calamitous national treasure hunt 38 years ago has sold for a record £37,000 at an auction house in Stamford, Lincolnshire.
Pro14: Dragons 29-35 Leinster
Pro14: Dragons v Leinster Pens: S Davies 5
Cons: R Byrne (4)
Champions Leinster extended their lead at the top of Conference A with a bonus-point Pro14 win over Dragons at Rodney Parade.
Tries from Peter Dooley, Scott Penny, Josh Murphy and Dan Sheehan plus a penalty try secured the victory.
Five Sam Davies penalties had seen Dragons lead 15-14 at half-time.
The hosts suffered yellow cards for Lloyd Fairbrother and Dan Baker but late tries from Luke Baldwin and Josh Lewis ensured a losing bonus point.
Sam Davies finished the game with 19 points but also decided to kick the ball out at the end of the game with the final play rather than attempt an unlikely victory as Dragons suffered a seventh straight defeat in all competitions.
