content: The object being tracked with this number is labeled with incorrect number 54273. A note with the object says that in 1974, someone guessed that it was actually E8658B, since it so closely resembles E8658C. Since the description on the card merely says "otter skin," there is no conclusive proof that this is the correct number.
