Description

Several dozen flat, elongated strips are arranged in neat rows across a dark tray, most with a small pale disc or tag placed on or beside them. The strips are pale grey in the photograph, with creased, uneven edges, and some show small perforations near their ends. A few white paper tags hang from or lie beside the strips.

About thirty thin, flattened strips of metal are laid out in neat rows on a dark cloth. Most are long and narrow, some with small holes at their ends, and their surfaces look tarnished and uneven. Small round white number labels and a few small white tags sit beside them.
