Peale Museum
@ Thought you would like this article given your interest in the Peale Museum. Best.4meter4 (talk) 23:49, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * , I do, are you planning a DYK nomination, possibly involving George Washington's hairbrush? TSventon (talk) 16:47, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think I would need to add more sources in order to take it to DYK. It was actually his "shaving brush" to be accurate.4meter4 (talk) 18:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I found History of Baltimore City and County, from the Earliest Period to the Present Day (John Thomas Scharf 1881) at Google books, obviously another good source would be helpful. According to that Edmund took over in 1844 not 1834, I don't know which is correct. TSventon (talk) 22:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * , I have added a paragraph on the 1833 fire, which also has some details of the contents of the museum at the time. I am not sure how to do a Harvard reference for an anonymous newspaper article.
 * There is a Newspapers.com clipping of a report of the 1873 fire here
 * I would like to investigate Newspapers.com to see when the museum changed its name, but the Wikipedia Library link is down at the moment. The original name seems to have been "Peale's Baltimore Museum and Gallery of Paintings" and the 1833 article calls it the "Baltimore Museum and Gallery of Fine Arts".
 * According to Revolver: Sam Colt and the Six-Shooter That Changed America (Jim Rasenberger 2021 via Google books) the manager of the museum from 1831 to 1834 was Joseph E. Walker. Walker absconded after Samuel Colt gave him $150 to pay for prototype revolver parts. TSventon (talk) 20:04, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good addition. I trust any changes you choose to make. I put your name down as an author in the DYK nom.4meter4 (talk) 14:44, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I will go ahead and make some small changes. I assume you will be monitoring the article as it goes through DYK, so let me know if you disagree with anything. TSventon (talk) 14:51, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Will do.4meter4 (talk) 14:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * , I have been meaning to ask if you know how or whether the Peale’s Museum in Troy, New York, where George C. Howard performed a version of Uncle Tom's Cabin is related to the other Peale's museums. I don't really expect you to know. TSventon (talk) 00:22, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not familiar with that museum.4meter4 (talk) 00:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
