Hi, List, Darren,

Despite the listing of a 102-pound "touch'n'feel"
meteorite as an exhibit on the "Museum's" webpage,
the only meteorites listed in the auction catalog are
four S-A's and some tektites.

The Museum's location, Social Circle, is where a large
iron was found in 1927, but that meteorite seems to be
at home at the Georgia State Capitol.

The auction inventory lists many fabulous items, such
as the T. Rex skull, as "a model of," in other words,
fabulous but fabricated. It sounds more like a XIXth
show than a museum, or what they called in Europe
a "Cabinet." The owner is a builder of such modeled
exhibits and "animatronic" figures as well.

I want to buy the sign that says, "This Way To The Egress."
