Mystery of Chek Chue-Wan Prison

Evelyne received a doll house as a gift from Sarah and Patrick which we're finally getting around to fixing up.  It looks really old, is solid wood, has a lot of hinges and little pieces.  Today I noticed the bottom of it has words in English reading "Made in Chek Chue-Wan Prison Stanley Hong Kong 1963."  Wonder if it's really from there and how it made its way here? I actually emailed the prison in Hong Kong to inquire; who knows if I'll hear anything back!  They have a museum of "prisoners" work so wondering if they'd want this back. Either way it's been a fun mystery of the weekend!
