The leaves of tobacco found in the Thomas cardboard tube, Z 12087, were tied together with an original Ridgeway label for 1927.58, while the tobacco leaves processed as 1927.58 were only identified as such by a more recent, circular museum tag labelled '27.58' in biro.
It seems, therefore, that the two bundles of tobacco leaves had been misidentified in the past. A decision was taken to remove the modern museum label from the second bundle and process it as Z 12087, to be stored with the Thomas collection cardboard tube. The Ridgeway tobacco sample, 1927.58, is the one with the original label.
