Context (Amendments / updates)
This object is marked with a 'Fox number' (218), as have others in this sequence, 1924.1004 E.2 A-B, which have also been marked incorrectly as 1924.1004.9. This object was definitely part of the Fox Collection, it is not clear whether it was ever part of the Gray collection so he has been made tentative and G.J.B. Fox has been added in the Source field.
