Context (Amendments / updates)
Object marked '04.585'. It was previously entered on the database under the number E 1904.585. This is the Annual Report number, used as an Accession number.
Object also bears an old adhered label giving the number E 1903.480. It appears to have become confused with E 1903.480, (Annual Report 1904.591), a similar charm consisting of 2 bundles, each with an embedded tooth. I have allocated it the number E 1903.474 on the basis that the old label's number with E 1903.480, does not fit into the numbering sequence from the Accession Register and Annual Report.
