General Note

Note

This object was found in the PM attic during the December 2009 inventory. The Tyvek cover was labeled with a tag: "Basket/No Number". Basket bottom marked "6822" and appears as such in PCR register for 1944-1949, but there is no record of an accession number assigned to it subesequently. Basket appears to be marked with very worn "PM.66.389" or ".387" accession number, however, that accession number cannot be confirmed by existing records. Object does not appear to match any description of missing objects. Object was assigned an PM.2010 accession number and added to TMS with alternate numbers added. The accession method and provenance of the object are unknown. [Jessa J. Krick, 1/21/2010]
