Dard Hunter
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Composing stick made from thin sheet brass. Inscribed with several different sets of initials and the date 1604. The donor, Dard Hunter, did not feel sure this date was correct; it is possible he made it in his shop. It looks like a modern attempt to create an "old" stick.
