Notes

SI ARCHIVE DISTRIBUTION DOCUMENTS SAY "B & A" [presumably "bow and arrow(s)"] SENT TO ANTON HEITMULLER, WASHINGTON, D.C. 1915.Bow not found in 2010 -- not certain how long it has been out of the collection, but perhaps this is the part sent to Heitmuller in 1915? 3 arrows remain in the collection.Victor J. Evans collection bow Catalogue No. E361124-0 bears a variety of original numbers. One number marked on the bow itself in old ink/handwriting is 1142. It may be speculated that this bow may possibly be bow Catalogue No. E1142-0, exchanged out of the collections to Anton Heitmuller in 1915? Heitmuller and Evans were both Washington, D.C. collectors during the same time period and other pieces that went to Heitmuller seem to have subsequently gone to the Evans collection.
