content: This [E73333-3] is probably the cradle described on the catalog card as being the former T-132: "The third cradleboard apparently lost its number. A cradleboard T-132, was judged by John C. Ewers to be this object and was tagged as such (see note on card 73333-C and also card T-132). It was reassociated with a bent wood frame piece, #73333, that seemed to fit it. As this object is similar to the cradleboard returned from American History [E73333-0], assigning it the #73333 seems to be correct. F. Pickering 8/5/1988." See catalog cards for further discussion of the history of these objects.
