Context (Other)
One arrowhead was marked Z 40150 before I saw that it said 'Van Vlechten' [and is therefore part of 1889.55]. All the rest were marked 1889.62 by me at the time [1985]. A card made out by Joan Cunning (now superseded and thrown away) is the only reference I can find to the number 1889.55.
