SWEDISH ANTIQUE STOLEN LONDON, England, Dec. 29. Swedens most precious antique, the jewelled medallion known as the Vadstena Braktea, has vanished and presumably has been stolen from the Royal Historical Museum, the London Daily Mail reported today from Stockholm. The antique, valued at 00,000, was locked for a night in a museum safe, the dispatch said. The next morning it was missing. The safe had not been damaged, indicating the possibility of an inside job. The Vadstena Braktea is a gold ornamented gem in the shape of an old Roman coin or Medallion and is 1,538 years old. It was discovered buried in the earth at Vadstena in 1587.
