First thank you all for your nice comments.

Gary, I thought the same thing but I would not trust their typewriters. You can see for example that they used the letter "I" instead of the number "1" for that specimen: http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/img/img_met/1-5_SikhoteAlin_SAS.jpg
Or maybe the "8" is stretched because of the soft sticker.

Moreover, it seems that all early numbers are very large masses.

Best regards,
Arnaud

The label I would interpret as 0098 because the lower loop of the number 8 type is usually larger than the upper one in typewriters during that time period, even if it does not jive with Fesenkov & Krinov SA catalog.
