SynopsisA museum aide approached me to authenticate an item being considered for the early American wing of the museum. It was a very crude wooden hobby horse that was purported to have been the inspiration for Benjamin Franklin's invention of the rocking chair. "What does the seller want for this antique hobby horse", I asked. The aide replied, "Really more than we want to pay". "Then don't", I said. "It's a fake". I'll tell you how I knew. In the case of the rocking chair fraud, the first hobby horse wasn't made until around 1800. Franklin died in 1790. Pretty difficult to get inspired when you're cold in the grave.
