Citations From Vanstone (1982) Article
« The Speck collection contains nine tobacco pouches. Two of these are of the roll-up variety, consisting of two rectangular pieces of skin, one much longer than the other, sewn together on three sides. The larger piece serves as a flap when the pouch is rolled. One of these pouches is made from the skin of a moose leg with the hair on. It is tied with a narrow moose skin strap at the end of which is a fastener-pipe cleaner made from a loon's beak (fig. 22b). »

« La collection de Speck contient neuf blagues à tabac. Deux d’entre elles sont de type enroulé, fabriquées de deux morceaux de peau rectangulaires, l’une beaucoup plus longue que l’autre, cousues ensemble sur trois côtés. La pièce la plus large sert de rabat quand la blague est roulée . Une de ces blagues est faite à partir de la peau d’une patte d’orignal qui a encore ses poils. Le tout est attaché avec une lanière étroite de peau d’orignal comportant à l’extrémité un bec de huard qui sert à la fois de fermoir et de cure-pipe (fig. 22b). »
