Context (Other owners)
Found in what appeared to be the original packing for postage to the museum. The parcel was addressed to A.C. Haddon at 3 Cranmer Road. It was marked in a later hand '37.1097. Weaving loom. India. Clarke Gift. Samson Coll.' and was, apparently erroneously, also marked '1937.942' and 'Howell Coll. October 6th 1937' [which is allocated to another object].
