FROM CARD: "(DUPLICATE CARD. COPIED FROM CATALOG BOOK)."This object is almost certainly misnumbered. It is marked with "6813" and "J. H. Devereux", but the number is partially worn off and "refreshed". 6813, according to the ledger book, should be a "gambling implement" from Devereux, and this is present in the collection (see A6813-0), so this appears to be the incorrect number for the pipe. The loan ledger entry for 6813 is a lace collar, so it is not L6813 either. The rest of the Devereux collection is all archaeology from eastern states, so it seems unlikely that this pipe was really part of that collection. The name "J. H. Devereux" on the pipe is in newer writing, so perhaps it was added later due to the (incorrect) association with 6813. There are a handful of NWC argillite pipes that are missing from the collection (E2696, E719, E720, E2593...) but none of them have enough descriptive information in the records to match them with this pipe. So this pipe will retain this number for tracking purposes until the original number can be found.

FROM CARD: "DEPOSITED WITH SMITHSONIAN INST."

FROM CARD: "8/17/66: INVENTORIED."Bow and 4 arrows.

From card: "Cedar bark cape painted with conventionalized [formline] designs on front."

FROM CARD: "DEPOSITED."The older of the two Anthropology catalogue ledger books appears to identify this object as a water "beaker." The newer catalogue ledger book and catalogue card transcribe the word "beaker" as "breaker." The object appears to resemble the type of bentwood wooden box sometimes used as a water box or bucket, though no lid or handle are currently present. There are holes on two sides near the top that possibly could have been used for a rope suspension handle at one point. It has been decided, for now, to label it as a water container, pending further information on its use.

Attributed to U.S. Exploring Expedition/Wilkes collection on the catalogue card, however Jane Walsh doubts that attribution.
