SOUVENIRS FROM MERTON

(3)
A label on the door knob alleges it was recovered from Merton during its demolition in the 1920s; the wax taper has a note alleging a connection to Nelson at Trafalgar; the cockade comes from the same source, the only corroboration perhaps being the addition of the chelengk motif.
