History
This is a Chee Kong Tong (Chinese Freemason) membership receipt book written in the 28th Chinese year, or 1902. These receipts could be sewn into clothing and kept secret; they would identify you as a rebel. This kind of book is extremely rare, as only a small number of them can be found in museums and archives.
