This object presumably came from the property of Clara Marx and was added to the collection of the ‘Haus der Heimat - Sauerländisches Friedrich Harkort Museum’ during the Nazi dictatorship through a purchase. However, she did not receive the money for it, as it was allegedly given directly to the tax office due to overdue ‘Jewish property taxes’.
Parts of the collection - such as this object - became the property of the Hagen City Museum in the post-war period.
