I like to find out the histories behind things and how they survived. You kinda figure something like that just gets taken, broken, lost, or sold for auction. It is a miracle that it did not end up in T.G.I.Friday's, Captain D's, or a Red Lobster restaurant as atmospheric ambiance. Now looking at Hooter's through the lens would be interesting, but I digress.

It makes one wonder how much other stuff is stored in warehouses across America that is just sitting there waiting to be found. Does the government catalog all this stuff in national data base? And if they do I wonder how hard it would be to access the lists?

ROFL!!!

But seriously, I hate that too.
Once an object is put on display in a place like that, with no documentaion or explanation, it loses its historical context.

As to the lists, I wouldn't even know how to go about finding out what is stored and where.

Obviously, given this story, the govt. doesn't even really know!
