P.T. Barnum traveled the world, and on one of his trips he happend to land in Paris. While in France he atteneded the auction of a deceased Russian prince's belongings and decided to partake in the bidding. The prince had unfortunately put his "Coat of Arms" on many of the items that were to be auctioned off, and due to this, no one was buying them. Luckily for Barnum, he was facinated by the china set and successfully bought them. By doing so, Barnum "adopted" the deceased Russian prince's "Coat of Arms".
For the past two weeks I have been on a mission to find out more information on the deceased Russian prince and/or his family. Why would Barnum want another "Coat of Arms" when there is already a "Barnum Coat of Arms"? It's a very interesting story, and one that I plan to get to the bottom of. But first, anyone fancy a cup of tea?
