It's an asteroid

WHAT'S IN A NAME: Astromoner Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth, a photo, discovered almost 400 asteroids, among them one named Reseda (the 1,081st catalogued). He spied it Aug 31, '27, five years after the town name was changed from Marian. He found Magnolia (#1060) in '25, 74 years before the movie of that name was filmed in Reseda (not mentioned here), for the climactic scenes on the street (at Sherman Way and Reseda Blvd, though ostensibly Magnolia Blvd.) featuring a whole lot of frogs. Some other geographically relevent finds: Arcadia was catalogued as #1020, Granada (Hills) at #1159 and Arnolda (Schwarzenegger) is #1018. He found Annefrank (#5535) on Mar 23, '42 (photo) years before many knew Anne Frank and years before the asteroid was named that. He found Kohoutek (#1850). (Remember Kohoutek? A photo.

On this date in 1934, Wilhelm discovered Peter (#1716).

Speaking of that, this: It's a fragrance.
It's a shoe.
It's an ink.
It's a pollen speck.
