IC 3496 is a star, blended with a defect. Though Wolf's position is well north of the position of the star, there is nothing exactly at his position on the print of the original plate. Furthermore, the star image is elongated on the print of his plate, and is quite eye-catching compared with the simple stars in the field.

My earlier identification of this with IC 3498 (copied into MOL) is wrong; Wolf's positions are very good, and his description of I3498 makes it unmistakable.
