It was called the New York Subway Hoard assembled in the 1940s. It contained a lot of key date coins and something like 24 complete sets of Barber dimes (excluding the 1894-s proof only). You're right it did sell to Littleton in the 1990s.
I recently read Q. David Bowers's book American Coin Treasures and Hoards it was fascinating reading about various accumulations.
