Note: 07/27/2011: many of the objects included in the box had no records, no numbers, or were re-numbered at some point, and so new records were made
Includes:
-1987.073.003,.004,.006, &.007: telescopes (07/27/2011: no records for .004-.007 were found and so were added)
-1987.073.005 & .008 two eye piece caps (07/27/2011: .008 looks as if it previously had a different number ("95.225") and acryloid was placed over the last three with ".008" written in; since it is one of two eye piece caps, I am assuming this number should read '1987.073.008')
