1s the date for this 1917? there is a written note on the sheet which says "Note: a very old record - abt 100 years! per Ald G."

It might be best to leave it edited at that date. There is always a nagging question of whether some H@H dates are of receipt rather than collection. In this case however, the label is probably just slightly nonsensical. After all, it says collected by Green & Gardner. Maybe they were re-visiting a site from a historic record.
