History of Object:
Receipt and clipping stapled to it, found in a 1933 yearbook that was apparently sold by the Alameda Museum in 2001, and donated back to the museum since. The yearbook itself had no owner notated. Possibly the buyer, a D. Branchaud, used the yearbook to investigate family history, since a Harry L. Branchaud was in the graduating class of 1933.
This receipt was one of a collection of papers, found in a 1933 Acorn, which, judging by the smell, had been in a basement or similarly humid environment.
Acquired from: unknown
Cataloged: October 12, 2020.
