<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 153579, member: 50&quot;]Numbers are commonly added to archaeological museum pieces as well as on privately held items. Some commonly used materials are B-72 and B-67 which have different solvents but protect the items and are reversible. You put a coat of one, let it dry, use archival inks to label and them top with the other. Now some people might use nail polish but it&#039;s not archival.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably half of my personal collection is labeled in a similar way using my own numbering system which corresponds to catalogs of photos and information on each item. (and maybe I&#039;ll get the rest labeled one of these days<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>Your first piece seems to have a word etched into the bottom and then is either worn or scratched over. Can you make it out?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
