"Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C." Sign in SS.

"You all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand 
years ago - the precise date is uncertain - by the four greatest 
witches and wizards of the age." Professor Binns, COS.

It is possible that some or all of the wands of the founders of 
Hogwarts were produced by an Ollivander. As several people have 
speculated, one of these wands could have been used for a Horcrux.

A good way to hide something would be among many others similar to 
it. Where better than Olivander's shop? It's full of magic "vibes" 
and an Ollivanders wand with something extra might not be noticed 
there.

However, Mr. Ollivander is quite perceptive. He might recently have 
noticed that one of his wands was fundamentally different from the 
others. He may have tried to probe it, realized what he had, and gone 
into hiding until he figured out what to do with it.
