content: See Chang-Su Houchins. 1995. Artifacts of Diplomacy: Smithsonian Collections from Commodore Matthew Perry's Japan Expedition (1853-1854). Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology, Number 37. P 118, for description of # 1 of 2.

content: There is an additional metal rod or point, numbered 4274, which could be Catalogue # 364 (and this is currently numbered E364 # 2 of 2). It looks like it could be the tip/point part of a gimlet/hand drill. However there is already a gimlet # 364 (currently called E364 # 1 of 2) in the collection, though there is a note on the catalogue card saying the number for it is uncertain (# 365 is also another possible number for it). For now, both objects are being called # E364. There was an unsigned note with the rod/point saying that 352 or 353 are other possible catalogue numbers for it.
