Curatorial Remarks

Note

This object was found in Kate Johnson's office prior to the HHV main office move in 2011. It is no longer missing and all records have been updated. Object was likely placed there when the lid became detached from the base [Jessa J. Krick, 1/13/2011]. This object has not been seen for an extended period during which several inventories were completed, so it has been declared missing [Jessa J. Krick, 12/9/2009]
