Research and responses: Fusa McLynn, who volunteered at the museum in 2013, examined this object and said: The printed side appears to be financial information, stocks and shares etc. There are company names and the word 'railways'. Perhaps from the financial pages of a newspaper. The handwritten letters look like writing exercises, some of the letters are only half formed. [El.B 16/12/2013]
