General Notes
Note
Notes: "the blue English-made sauce dish, I took from the only house that I ever saw in Singapore. Jessie Veits, my great aunt, took "Pinkie" Marianne Funk and me on a hike to the Denison property, Singapore area. We were all surprised to see that the sands had shifted over the winter and a small amount of a house was showing."
Quote from a letter submitted by the donor written in September 2005.
Based on life dates with Marianne Funk born in 1933, estimate date of find from late 1930s to 1940s.
