Archival history
Letter, Mrs Langford-Jones to MERL, 4th January 1956 - 'I had been thinking of writing to you to offer 2 small objects though you probably have some of the same kind already. // One thing is a round platter of wood about 5 inches - with a 6 pointed brass star cut in - I am told they were used in the country pubs round here to stand the beer mugs on.'
