content: The catalog card lists many objects given this catalog number. Some of these are now missing. According to the card, a miniature rattan setee and two chairs were sent to the Panama National Museum in 1941. A second note with the card says an exchange was made with Mr. Edward Lovett of Croydon, England on Jan 28, 1904, but we have no record of what was sent. The only documentation among the accession papers is a letter dated Nov 20, 1903, from Lovett to Prof. Mason, asking for unspecified Philippine items. The following objects were among those listed on the catalog card but are not accounted for and may have been sent to Lovett: 1 pen holder, 2 cigar holders, 1 cigarette holder, and 1 of 2 salad sets consisting of a fork and spoon.
