Context (Found together / assemblage)
Nine apparently unaccessioned keys (TEMP.00728-TEMP.00735) were found together in the museum store. Some or all of them may have been accessioned and become disassociated with their museum number, or they may never have been formally accessioned into the museum's collection. Five of these keys (TEMP.00728-TEMP.00731.1-2) have been identified as belonging to the Braybrooke Collection (see individual Context notes). All nine keys were found with a note reading 'NO PROV'.
