"What manner o'thing is your crocodile?": January 2018

Happy Boxing Day! We’ve brought you another crocodile mystery to open with your holiday goodies. This month’s mystery comes in two forms and appears in two places. Tell us, if you would, what these mysterious numbers suggest to you?

 

 

As usual, leave your thoughts and guesses in the comments below and we’ll be back in the new year with an answer.

That looks like a case number, which would mean that a) this document (X.d.131 – sorry, I cheated and looked it up on Hamnet) was part of the Folgers’ original collection and b) it was the first item from case 1329.
