A New Hampshire woman recently found a needle in a haystack in the form of a rare painting at a thrift store. The woman bought the painting for just $4. Now, the painting is expected to sell at auction for close to $250,000. “It’s in very good condition,” said painting conservator Lauren Lewis. “There are a few scratches, little dings, darkened varnish, but nothing unexpected to a pairing of that age that has, in my opinion, never been touched” The initial buyer of the painting found the item at a Savers store in Manchester while in search of used frames. Lewis later came across the painting after the buyer posted photos in a Facebook group. “They posted pictures of the front as well as the back, which was very helpful for me,” Lewis told 7NEWS. “There were some labels on the back, so I was interested.”What the buyer didn’t know was the fact that the painting had been missing for 80 years, first created by Needham artist N.C. Wyeth in 1939 as an...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:18:40 GMT

He served up his sixth of the season Tuesday night at Citi Field in the Mets’ 2-1 loss to the Texas Rangers.The Rangers took the series with the victory, handing the Mets their second straight series loss and their fourth loss in the last five games.

Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels, Smith gave up one up to briefly put the Halos ahead, but the Mets came ba...
