Context (Amendments / updates)
It is possible that Z 17164 A.1 and Z 17067 are both 1886.29.1-2, donated by the Cambridge Free Library donated in 1886, which subsequently became disassociated from their original accession number and reaccessioned as Z numbers. 1886.29.1-2 has therefore been tentatively added to the MAA Numbers field and Cambridge Free Library to the Source field.

Context (Other)
A very similar handwritten label is affixed to Z 17067, also sherds from an urn from Great Wilbraham. It is plausible that they are from the same original donor.
