Jay Smith of the Reno County Museum already responded to the point made
about a  museum selling off one of its cradles on the spur of the moment,
but I have to add:  This was a museum???  I can only hope that in the past
30 years they have reached some minimum of ethics...museums are supposed
to hold objects in the (entire) public's trust, not compete with antiques
dealers.  yikes.
