Rug Cleaning/Repair Receipt, 1974
Added 2022-07-27 06:02:41 +0000 UTCOn July 25, 1974, Ted delivered a Kurdish rug to the Seattle shop Pande-Cameron for cleaning and repair (two splits). This was 9 days after he murdered Janice Ott and Denise Naslund, abducted on the same day from Lake Sammamish. He picked it up on August 13, about two weeks before he left for Salt Lake City. No idea what it looked like, but I've attached an example in roughly the same size and age (at the time).
Anyone know what "Kurd SA 4x5x8x0" means? I'm assuming the rug was Kurdish in origin, maybe semi-antique, 4 ft by 5.8 ft?
As requested by a Reddit user whose grandpa washed Ted's rug, here's the receipts!

I believe it's 4 feet 5 inches × 8 feet. 4'5"× 8'0"
