<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 435134, member: 6444"]You have to be careful about things from museums - sometimes not really in their collection at all, but have been gifted (e.g. estate contents from a donor) and museum never had it on display or part of their collection so they just sell off what they don't want. Different if you know it had been displayed, but even then a museum will sometimes conclude they were wrong about the history of something and get rid of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
