<div class="">3/viii 25 and 23/v 26 are standard abbreviations for 3rd of August 1925 and 23rd of May 1926 respectively. Is the 19 written in the same hand as the rest? And does your catalog extend back to the beginning of the 19th century? Given how close
these dates were to the turn of the century, someone may have later added 18 and 19 in front of dates distinguish them. </div>
