[QUOTE="gabatgh, post: 216388, member: 4148"]So I inherited this plaque. It is thirteen inches high and eighteen inches wide. It is thirty eight pounds. In each corner in the back there is a threaded hole that does not come through to the front. The only signature appears to be on the bottom right and seems to be H70. My father-in-law bought it in 1972 from a dealer in Michigan who thought this was Charles Lindburgh. I have been in indirect contact with Reeve Lindburgh and she's certain it's not her dad. Many people have suggested it might be Frank Sinatra. I've been in direct contact with Nancy, who is positive it's not her dad. Abe Lincoln was another thought. I've been in contact with the Railsplitter and they don't think it is him either. The spots on the piece are from the egg crate foam that it was sitting in from about 1972 to 2013. It sure does look like Bill Nye though. I even emailed him and asked if he wanted to buy it, but I haven't heard from him. Now you know what I know.
