The record
A section at the Niagara Falls Ripley's — the second Ripley's holding in this catalogue.
Ripley's Edward Meyer acquired sixteen ten-foot sections shortly after 1989 — roughly 40,000 lb, shipped by barge to Hamburg, freighter to New Orleans and then trucked to Orlando for distribution around the attractions. The Times Square one has since closed; this is where another of that consignment went.
How did it get here?
Part of the sixteen-section purchase made for Ripley's after 1989, from Waldemarstraße in Kreuzberg.
