Surely they could buy it if genuine and important to the museum. If they want it, I'll be the first guy to give $10 or $20� towards purchasing it and getting it home. If that piece were stolen as alluded to by some, don't you think the law would be all over that guy? Who knows, maybe that number plate was removed by the Union Army when they confiscated it during the civil war in order to camouflage it's identity. Even though they didn't get far with it, that could have happened. They would most likely have thrown it into a creek, river, canyon, gully, etc., who knows. In any case it is highly unlikely that this guy or someone he knew stole it. If so, then they are complete idiots for putting it on Ebay.� In any case, if he/she came by it legally, it's theirs, and this isn't a socialist country (yet), so he/she can do as they darn well see fit.
