05/19/2012 Object was loaned to the Shelby County Players for a production of "Diary of Anne Frank." When returned the spring was broken in one place. Based on the deep rust condition of the spring, this was a hidden fault at the time the handle was loaned out. Object is still in fair enough condition to use in exhibit.Create Date
