A Bit of Levity
Found these images of a Wax Museum (the Gettysburg one recently sold?!) whose figurines went up for auction -

The poor figures with the large placard numbers are somewhat humorous; I never knew that the "Geico Caveman" (No. 283 figure on extreme right) attended the Lincoln Douglas Debate!

Is it supposed to be Galesburg's mayor - Henry R. Sanderson?

I thought Figure 283 might be Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes!
