  2. 1979
    Led H.-G. Buchholz into a ROM storeroom where the Frangissa finds (350+ objects, on loan to the ROM from the National Art Gallery, Ottawa since 1958 without papers linking them to Phrangissa, from the Warren collection) were found; recognised on a shelf a modern 'Kornos' jug matching one in an 1885 photograph of Warren's house.

  3. 1989–1991
    Buchholz thanks 'Frau N. Leipen' for help with the Cypriot holdings (1989) and says the working-up of the Phrangissa finds in the ROM is far advanced 'thanks to the support of N. Leipen' (1991); Neda Leipen found a joining fragment of the bowl on a vessel, a thymiaterion (Zeus Ammon iconography).

  4. 1996
    A Dr Rupert Warren, grandson of Falkland Warren, contacted Neda Leipen at the ROM; he knew nothing of his grandfather's antiquities.
