Research and responses

If the matching of this object to the green book entry is correct that this object came from the Hutchinson collection. For information about Hutchinson see the Biographies file. Presumably this object was not found when the retrospective numbering exercise was carried out. The fraction number makes it uncertain whether this is a correct match for the green book entry - none of the other matches have fraction numbers. Presumably 30/- was the price PR paid for the object [AP Leverhulme project on founding collection 1995-1998]
