He's about as tall Napolean too.<br /><br />Kevin, the idea of juxtaposing fakes and authentic items of the same type is great, and would be the most enlightening for a general audience.

Do you really think the public would be interested? We do have a few and they are all good stories.

That was one sharp-eyed observer who unmasked your whirligig. I had no idea old whirligigs were popular enough in the 1940s to spawn forgeries.Candler Artshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012777114676966469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5436109717196393544.post-85631279098121647492010-05-20T11:44:42.607-07:002010-05-20T11:44:42.607-07:00This modification actually makes the piece more in...This modification actually makes the piece more interesting to me, which probably means it's a good think I'm not in charge of your exhibits.
