Another bit of info: although there is no current listing for "Bashford's Corner Ltd.", at "736 Seventeenth Avenue Southwest, Calgary, Alberta, Canada," one "Capt. C. C. Bashford" is listed as a director, and the following obituary is listed Here:
BASHFORD, Charles Christopher (1928-2005)
Charles Christopher BASHFORD passed away peacefully in Calgary, Alberta on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 at the age of 76 years.
Christopher is survived by his loving wife, three children and three grandchildren. He was a well known Canadian antique dealer.

Perhaps the buyer's friend, who has posted above, (or the buyer himself) could satisfy our curiosity by providing further details, such as the name of the seller, the selling price, the names of the experts who authenticated the work, etc.
Here is an image of an 1832 William Henry Mote engraving that was "probably" based on a work by Frank Stone, the artist who is supposed to have painted the original portrait. The image is rather small, but there is a striking resemblance to the painting depicted in the article.
Glory be to the Bomb, and to the Holy Fallout. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. World without end. Amen.
May the Blessings of the Bomb Almighty, and the Fellowship of the Holy Fallout, descend upon us all. This day and forever more.
Amen!
You're missing the fact that the Chinese factory changed the original, safe glue formula to the toxic one.
According to this
article,
"The toys were supposed to use 1,5-pentanediol, a nontoxic compound found in glue, but instead contained the harmful 1,4-butanediol, which is widely used in cleaners and plastics."
Earlier this year, I withdrew $100 from an ATM at a Wawa convenience store. The cash was deposited into the tray, but I didn't pick it up right away (was organizing some $1 and $5 bills that were in my pocket).
After approximately 30 seconds, the ATM sucked/retracted the $100 back into the machine.
I called my credit union, sent in the dispute form. About a month later, I get a letter stating that my dispute has been denied (by PNC bank, the owner of the ATM).
Apparently, there was no record of the retraction.
I called PNC, and they refused to talk to me, since I wasn't "their customer."
My credit union eventually gave me $100.
Since that occasion, I've suspected that some programmer has a setup whereby retractions aren't reported and the funds go right into his secret account.

The 4-frame-per-second video recordings were made on 78-RPM lacquers by John Logie Baird in 1927 and 1928. Don McLean performed the restoration.
Looks like Uranus.

On April 24th 1980, Pennsylvania lottery insiders had a different cause in mind.
