The ID number is too high for it to be a native Rev icon, so it must be 
somewhere in the stack. Or if the stack is a substack, it may be in the 
mainstack. One typical place to store icon images is in an unplaced 
group, so see if any of the cards have one of those. The Application 
Browser is an easy way to see that.

Rev's icon picker will display images that appear in the current stack 
if you choose "This Stack" from the popup menu. But (if I remember 
right) it won't display images in any other stacks, even if they are in 
the message hierarchy. You need to make a stack the current one to see 
what images it contains.

The icon you are describing sounds a little like an old HyperCard icon. 
If so, the stack may have been imported from an original HC stack. All 
the icons in imported HC stacks are stored in an unplaced group called 
"HC Icons", so you may want to look for that. One easy way to do that is 
to pull down the Objects/Place Group menu item to see if that group is 
available.
