Research and responses

Zena McGreevy found 4 of the 6 spoons in August 2004. It is clear from what she found that there were in fact 6 Russian spoons given at this time, assuming that there really are 2 townscape spoons (not found by her at that time). She therefore assigned a new accession number from the 1918.25. series for the part of the entry that was not given a retrospective accession number when these were assigned. see 1918.25.188 [AP 10/08/2004]
