Paley Johnson's Handkerchief
Dr Paley Johnson M.A enjoyed photography in his spare time. He worked at the Royal Institution,
21, Albemarle Street London and he had links with Cambridge University. This is all that I could glean from a couple of his belongings found at the flea market.

Hanging Pocket
The reverse of the pocket has a square insert for an identity card. Perhaps it was used in the military.
