From card: "Illus. in Bulletin 136, USNM, Pl. 8-e, p. 121."Anthropology Catalogue ledger book indicates this is a model of artifact E20584, modeled by the Anthropology Laboratory for exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis, 1904. The ledger lists the name of C.R. Luscombe, who is presumably the model maker. A second catalogue card, from a separate batch of large cards, is more explicit on this information. It is stamped L.P. Exposition, St. Louis, 1904, and indicates this is a "model made by C. R. Luscombe at Anthropological Laboratory".Listed on page 42 in "The Exhibits of the Smithsonian Institution at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, California, 1915", in section "Arts of the Northwest Coast Tribes".

All of these were made by the same carver. The paddles were made first, and then the carvings were added, but it is unclear why there are holes on the spoons. These spoons were used for blending and making soapberries, which fluff up, similar to a meringue. This is in a set of four, E20819-0, E20821-0, E20823-0, E20824-0
