Subsequent proprietors were Fayez Baraket of Los Angeles in 1975, Mathias Komor of New York in 1975, an anonymous collector from 1975 until 1992 and David Goldstein of Los Angeles from 1992 to 1994. In 1995 Kando confirmed that the inkwell and the altar indeed were found by Bedouin at Qumran around 1950. The altar and the inkwell are numbered 1655/4 and 1655/2 in the checklist of the Schøyen Collection.
