This is really interesting. The screws sound like an excellent test, and Walt's
remarks on the paint rule out an obvious scam. If the auction house is a
serious one, maybe they have some procedure for authentication?
Anyway, I copied a couple of curators in Austin so they can decide whether this
is worth following. The Harry Ransom Center of UT has I think a collection of
photographic artifacts in addition to massive photographic collections. If
they're not interested, they can just delete the email...
Oh, and Walt's OMs are just gorgeous.
