All 3 paddles are marked Makah, and one is also marked "W.T." (i.e. Washington Territory). These paddles are probably the ones listed on Swan invoice # 4 in accession file, where they are called #95, "3 paddles for the small canoe shipped in October." The canoe referred to as shipped in October is probably Makah canoe E74202, so these paddles may belong to that canoe, or Swan may have acquired them for display with that canoe?
WRONG NUMBER74795; CEDAR BARK MAT 'MAKAH' SWAN, WASHINGTON TERRITORY PART OF SERIES 74783-94 BUT CAN'T DETERMINE WHICH.Stored in Pod 4 oversize whole unit. Advance arrangements are needed for access.
From card: "The paddle is painted with the typical northwest coast conventionalized design. It is a poor specimen and recently made, probably for the tourist trade."See similar paddle E361719, probably the same maker.
