Curatorial Remarks

Note

Both catalog card and worksheet are marked "(reprod.)" in a former curator's handwriting; Curator Kate Johnson stated she didn't remember ever seeing this object [10/9/2009]; 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, 11/30/2009]
