Notes

With objects: "These hand wrought nails were taken from house, built in 1648, on the west side of Germantown Ave. north of Chelten Avenue now Vernon Park. House was demolished in 1895-96 collected and presented by S. H. Magargee." Highly dubious, in terms of early date, as Germantown wasn't founded until 1683!
