Unknown examples from TT 96 (01-097 in Davies's notebook and 04-075 in Macadam's Green file).
Two from TT 99 (01-097 in Davies's notebook and 04-075 in Macadam's Green file).
Combined with # 224, 200 examples from TT 93 (Mond 1904 [ASAE 5]: 98).

Remarks:
The ascribed owner is the same as that of # 224.
The dimensions, design, findspots, and handwriting of # 223 and # 224 suggest that the maker of the two is the same and that they may have been created at the same time. Conversely, # 224 mentions the owner's wife, Sennay, which suggests that the cone was made after their marriage. Therefore, it may be posited that # 223 was made first and then # 224 was made. The chronology of the two cones' production will remain unresolved until further evidence is uncovered.
According to the example in the Royal Ontario Museum (993X2.57), Toronto, the sign of a man in the right column is A 52.
The back has a flat end (ROM: 993X2.57).
