I decapitated Lincoln

[Lincoln Wonk]

A savvy young man I know here in Delaware, who has no real interest in Lincoln but likes a good bust, was shopping in an odds-and-ends store in Wilmington when he found a heavy metal bust of Mr. Lincoln. He asked the price and was told it was $135, an excellent price for really nice bust about 7-8 inches high, I thought. He wrote $80 on the back of his biz card and handed it to the salesperson, adding, "When it comes down to $80, please call me." She sold it to him for $80 on the spot. He went online and learned its worth low thousands, I forget how many, if he can get a crack in the base and neck area repaired,,probably at the Winterthur-UD labs here.
Last time I saw it, he was on the hunt for a tiny Santa hat for Abe to wear last Christmas.
