Mystery Question:

Reuben Haines IV photographed the Back parlor of Wyck, July 25, 1903. (The glass plate negative is in Wyck's collection.) Jane Haines had bought the large "Norweigan sideboard" at the Centennial. It was given to the Philadelphia Art Museum which sold it in 1944. There is no record of the purchaser. We are trying to track down its present location. Can you help us???? If so, please:
