Note

This object appeared on an old list from a file from Kate Johnson's office, titled "Objects whose locations are listed as Manhattan Storage as of 7/79". The object has not been seen for an extended period during which several inventories were completed, so it has been declared missing; no HHV objects have been stored offsite since the late 1960s [Jessa J. Krick, 3/7/2013].
