LEDGER AND CATALOG CARD SAY 1 OBJECT WITH THIS NUMBER SENT TO GALLAUDET UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON, D.C. 1887. LEDGER AND CATALOG CARD SAY 1 OBJECT WITH THIS NUMBER SENT TO TROCADERO, FRANCE. 1885.According to the accession record, Swan acquired 2 crabapple wood bows, with arrows, and 2 mountain yew wood bows, with arrows, from the maker, Tahahowtl or Byron, a Makah Indian of Neah Bay, Washington. These objects were catalogued as numbers E76294 - E76297.See Cat. 120 and 121 p. 195 in Faucourt, Camille. 2020. A La Conquête de l'Ouest : Collectes Amérindiennes de La Smithsonian Institution Conservées Au Musée Du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac. Paris: Réunion des musées nationaux. Entries are on 2 arrows, Musee Du Quai Branly Catalog no. 71.1885.78.422 and 71.1885.78.423, which their records identify as formerly Smithsonian no. E76297. Note that Smithsonian records only indicate that one object with this number went to the Trocadero. Also, Smithsonian records indicate that a bow and 2 arrows number E76294 went to the Trocadero, however the Branly only has accounted for a bow and one arrow. It is therefore possible that one of the two arrows the Branly identifies as 76297 may possibly be 76294?

DEEP, ROUND BOTTOMED CONTAINER OF THICK GRASS BUNDLE COILS, AND SPLIT STITCHES, PLUS IMBRICATED GEOMETRIC DECORATION IN LIGHTER COLOR. COLLECTED NEW IN 1949 NEAR SHAKER SETTLEMENTS.

FROM CARD: "ILLUS. IN USNM AR, 1888; PL. 36, FIG. 184; P.314." Identified in publication cited above as twined wallet (i.e. bag), Chilkat Indians, Alaska, from W. F. (William Fraser)Tolmie. Note that Tolmie's last name is mistranscribed on catalogue card as Tolnie. Anthropology catalogue ledger book lists both Tolmie's and George Suckley's names as source of this object but also identifies this object as probably part of George Suckley accession # 126 for the year 1859, so Tolmie may be the collector who Suckley acquired it from, probably circa 1855 in Washington Territory?
