'There are 2 objects with this "1920..." identification number. The Roscoe number is not an Accession Register number - there are no Roscoe objects in the 1920 Accession Register. A separate card catalogue was compiled for the Roscoe Collection in 1920 (see Annual Report) and given numbers beginning with "1920" , duplicating Accession Register numbers. The objects themselves are usually marked with numbers beginning "20". To avoid confusion, objects in the Roscoe Collection with 1920 numbers have now been given the suffix "/Roscoe" '.

Context (Amendments / updates)
The catalogue card notes that ROS 1920.308[A-Z] are 'Roscoe 1911 Unregistered' objects. It is likely that this note means that the objects were collected in 1911 but not accessioned into the museum collection until 1920.
