Context (Amendments / updates)
This object returned form conservation at UCL with the IDNO 1938.955 on the conservation paperwork, however another object is also labelled with this number. The record and accession registerer for 1938.955 only describe one toggle pin. As the other object has an old label with this IDNO attached, it has been decided this is the correct object for 1938.955, and this object has likely been incorrectly assigned this IDNO during UCL conservation. It has therefore been assigned a TEMP number.
