As my collection expanded in size and diversity, I found it necessary to implement a systematic method for inventorying and tracking each item. Turning to a classic solution, I opted for tie-on tags, each bearing a unique asset number. Employing my trusty typewriter, I sequentially numbered these tags, ensuring that every item in my collection would have its own distinct identifier. This system enables me to maintain an organized inventory while also preserving the individuality of each piece. Moreover, I developed an online database to complement this tagging system, allowing me to catalog detailed information about each item, including its age, acquisition history, and backstory. Hence, if you ever come across a number in one of my posts, rest assured that it corresponds to this meticulously managed inventory system, ensuring that the stories and significance of each item in my collection are meticulously preserved and shared.
