I jest, about painting it red at least, I probably will store it at work for awhile.

We've started doing Furlough time at work due to the budget crunch, my lunch has been bumped up to an hour (instead of letting us go home early ) so I have time to work on my projects there now.

I will restore it if it's in decent condition, the last one I had the cabinet was so far gone I would up throwing it away, saved the innards though so I have plenty of spare parts.

It has a Certificate of Authenticity! I'm soooo excited about that because I was worried i might buy a counterfeit 48-2500.

Seriously though, if it was owned by Clark Gable or something that would be really cool!

It's an intriguing thought! I wonder what criteria this set fit into in order to have been part of a museum collection? Belonging to an actor, perhaps being a movie prop? That would be cool if it had been in the background of some old movie. Or maybe it was just there to show what people used to watch tv on back in the 40's?

Either way, I'm sure that owning a "certified museum piece" is worth the price of admission!
