My purchase was Feb, 2015, of several money-related or "traditional money" objects from a man named Mendenhall. Here is a quote from his email correspondence, " I have a lot of artifacts I am disposing of. At one time I had a business where I dealt in all types of Natural Science collector items….so along the way I obtained many other objects in different sciences and for collectors. I closed that business and bought a startup engineering company 1n 1964 so most of the items I did not dispose of I am working on now as I just retired." At some other point, he mentioned his private museum, so I would guess these home-made guarantee cards were the display tags. There were other things sourced from Dyaks, and I will try to post some pictures here. These were gold earrings, belt buckles, and other ornaments outside my area of knowledge, so I did not offer on them. All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
