content: This looks like a stopper or plug. A pointed black wooden stick with a bone or ivory cylinder at the other end. Numbers written on it are 69B and 1509. A catalog number, 95783 (or 45783, or ?), is written on the ivory part, but it is very faint and difficult to read. Catalog number E95783-0 is a flageolet. The card describes a "plug" in the end of the flute, but that is probably referring to an inset piece of wood on the end of the flute. This object (E95783-1, with the ivory end) is too large to fit into any of the holes on the flute, and it seems very unlikely that it goes with the flute. It is not known when this plug became associated with the flute, or why. It will retain this number until further information can be found.
