Context (CMS Context)
The 'E' number for this object 'E 1910.173' is not a correct IDNO. The object was entered into the Museum's accession registers (vol. 8) but crossed off with a note saying 'Check BB [Blue Book]. No trace of the object could be found in the Blue Book and the fan does not seem to have been re-entered until it was given a Z number. The only correct numbers it bears is its Z number, Z 10791.
