12100. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. 19Feb76; RE26744, By Loew's, Inc. € 15Ffeb49; (EWH) = R627204,. Polka-dot puss.
This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “The OCR chunk is garbled. The renewal number R627204 appears to belong to 'Polka-dot puss' based on the surrounding lines. The original date is read as 9Feb49 (1949-02-09) from '€ 9Peb49', where 'Peb' is a misread of 'Feb'. The renewal claimant is likely Loew's, Inc. (PWH) from the preceding garbled line 'By Loew's, Inc. € 15Ffeb49; (EWH) =', but the renewal date is taken from the following line 'Inc. (PWH): 12Feb76;' as 1976-02-12. The original number is not clearly readable.”
