FROM CARD: "DESIGNS OF AN OLD "GARS" POST IN CHIEF'S HOUSE. POSSIBLY KLUCKWAN. "FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ITEMS DEPICTED IN PHOTOGRAPHS 860 & 860A, SEE: EMMONS, GEORGE T. THE WHALE HOUSE OF THE CHILKAT. ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY VOL XIX, PART I (1916) THESE CARVINGS MAY BE SOME MADE FOR THE NEW WHALE HOUSE AT KLUCKWAN WHICH WAS STARTED BETWEEN 1899-1901, BUT NEVER FINISHED, OR THEY MAY BE CARVINGS MADE FOR SOME OTHER UNKNOWN USE. WCS [William C. Sturtevant]."Note: the Accession papers for Accession # 27833 for the year 1894 list the following objects: "TWO RECENT CARVINGS (TOTEMS) YELLOW CEDAR FROM ALASKA EX. WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. MODERN WORK OF TLINKIT INDIAN PRESENTED BY DEPT. OF INTERIOR WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, F. W. CLARKE REP., COLLECTED BY LIEUT. G. T. EMMONS." Accession file 27833 does not record the catalogue number or numbers for these artifacts, nor have they been identified in the collections to date. It therefore can be speculated that the two house posts Catalogue No. 169102 may possibly be the objects referenced?
