Short Cape Or Robe Item Number: E1296B-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
A DOWN BLANKET WAS FOUND WITH #2125 ON IT. 2125 IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SALISH BLANKET OF SHEEPS WOOL, THEREFORE JANE WALSH DETERMINED THAT THE DOWN BLANKET WAS MOST PROBABLY ONE OF THE DOWN CAPES # 1296 A & B. ONE OF THESE CAPES WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN SENT TO DENMARK, BUT SINCE 2119 ANOTHER DOWN BLANKET WAS SENT, THE SMALLER ONE WAS NOT. THE DOWN BLANKET NUMBERED 2125 IS NEARLY IDENTICAL TO 1296 (I.E. 1296A), AND IS THEREFORE PRESUMED TO BE THE SECOND 1296 AND HAS BEEN GIVEN THIS NUMBER, 1296B.Records in the SI Archives of the Office of Distribution say one of these (1296A or B) was transferred to Copenhagen, Denmark in 1867, but apparently neither was actually sent.
