Inscriptions, Signatures and Marks
N/A
There are two collection stickers on the bottom. One is "V-23.." with the end torn away. It is likely that this is the André Emmerich sticker. Emmerich numbered the object as "V-233" according to the invoice from when he sold it in 1967. The other sticker is "MX 33," an unknown collection number.
