 * Symbol confirmed.svg No QPQ necessary. I've italicized "pictured" in the sentence per DYK MOS. Image is labeled PD. The hook is interesting and NPOV, as is the article. The article was recently 5x expanded. No obvious copyvio. The hook is inline cited to the Berks History Center Museum website, which appears to be a reputable museum and is RS. Looks great!
