content: The original ledger shows one slate knife associated with the catalog number. At this writing, there are three objects: two dark slate blades, and one much lighter in color. This latter piece has field number 446 written on it, which is associated with cat. no. A14921, whose original count was 8. Upon examination, one piece was found to be missing and It has been determined that light colored blade with 446 written on it should be moved to A14921. The two remaining black slate blades in A14920 have field number 470 written on them. That number corresponds to the ledger, but the ledger says there is only one blade. The field number on the smaller blade is written differently (e.g., different hand, difference ink, and the 7 has a dash through it, as 7's are written in Europe).
