Research and responses

Originally documented as pine-wood, but note from Dr. Erna Gunther, State Museum Washington, states that this could not be the case: it could be maple. [LM]

Note that the only place that this is associated with T.K.G. is in the Collectors Miscellaneous volume [AP Leverhulme project on founding collection 1995-1998]
