You're right that there's no indication that the call slip is from the same library, that was an inference on my part, based on several factors: (i) I doubt the old CAE (Council of Adult Education) library would have been big enough to warrant closed stacks, which are pretty rare here anyway; (ii) the book has the same prefix, which as I understand it is not part of the Dewey classification but is arbitrarily added by the library to refer to a particular collection; the chance that two libraries would use the same prefix is fairly low; (iii) likewise, the Dewey number itself is fairly arbitrary: I can find this same book classified as 300 BRA 1934, 327 B814 and 330.904 Bra in addition to 330.15 B73, so again it seems unlikely that it would keep the same number when accessioned by the new library. Unless the librarian was just being lazy, of course! Well, I was thinking 1950s rather than 1980s, say; no reason why a fountain pen couldn't have been used then.
