Forthenryantiques?
 
Can someone give me a little friendly history on this museum? Where are they located, and where have they come by all of their pieces which they seem to be selling off on Ebay. Pretty high opening bid prices with no takers! Cheers Rob

Rob, not totally sure on this one but I believe that this name is being used to sell off parts of Mr Frank Grant's collection. Frank is from Limehouse ON where all his items are located. The seller, "forthenryantiques" seems to be a Toronto address. I have heard round here, that these are connected somehow...

The real dirt
 
Forthenryantiques is the E bay moniker for the team of Ed Fedora and Frank Grant. Ed lives in Brighton, Frank has his "Museum" in Limehouse. Frank's the same guy that had his BSA bike on E bay for $5000 US last week. Ed lists and sells for him. Oh well the secrets out now!

Frank Grant?
 
Wasn't he the guy who justified selling a $100 item, not for $150 but for $500 because, while it may look common, on his word it was the one carried by General Dingal at the famous Battle of Herebegone where civilization was nearly lost, but saved because Dingal used this very item to save the day?

Right on Bruce
 
You got it. Dingwall had just come over from the 25th Combat Mess Tin repair Unit and joined the Putzgediers, the defeated
General Bargewash had his Jock cup publicly displayed for years before Frank (who is the original jock cup) listed it on E Bay starting at $6.23 with a buy it now price of $3150.00 (US)
I loved your comment about the shiny lure.
