It could've been the estate of someone very much on the supernatural side. Or it could've been the estate of someone's wealthy-but-loony aunt who had a taste for the occult.

Excellent point.  Frankly if he'd known what he had I suspect he would have taken more dramatic steps, or ideally been wise enough to walk away with just the art.  We do know Bony Tony was clued in enough to take steps against Wizards (ie. concealing the Word via technology) but not how much he know prior to that score, or how much specifics he knew about the Word itself.  It would have likely been stored in some fashion that screamed Valuable, either a display or a hiding place. 

peregrine:
If he knew about how dangerous it was, he'd have probably told Marcone, since Marcone was the one who gave him advice on how to hide it from wizards.  At which point Marcone would probably use it to get some sort of concessions/payment from the White Council or just burn it himself.  Because something like that is basically a nuclear weapon that only someone else can use.  It benefits Marcone not to keep it around if he can't use it.

Rasins:
I could totally see Marcone keeping it, and using it later, if needs be, to elevate himself in the supernatural world.

Bargaining tool if nothing else, I just dont see him actually burning it.  Hell, Id only give it 50/50 that the White Council itself would completely destroy such knowledge.

Rasins:
I'm still of the opinion that Marcone will look for some way to extend his life.  A darkhallow would do it.
