Carved Slate Pipe BlackE6813-0

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.
