content: From card: "In Hough: Synoptic Series, p.5, metal working tools No. 6 there is a spike of iron, jeweler's anvil from Japan, with the no. 19,461, which must indicate the 'hammer' identification above is wrong, or [the] number is. --RAE Jr."

content: The ledger book indicates that there are 2 parts to catalog number 19461 (this is not indicated on the catalog card, which says there are two total parts in catalog numbers 19641 and 19642, and only lists them as hammers). It seems likely that the hammer and "spike of iron" (identified in Hough as a jeweler's anvil) listed on the catalog card are a set. If so, the reference in Hough is correct, and the original identification on the catalog card is also correct but incomplete.
