tobacco pouch1927.1734 . 176336

« The Speck collection contains nine tobacco pouches. Two of these are of the roll-up variety, consisting of two rectangular pieces of skin, one much longer than the other, sewn together on three sides. The larger piece serves as a flap when the pouch is rolled. One of these pouches is made from the skin of a moose leg with the hair on. It is tied with a narrow moose skin strap at the end of which is a fastener-pipe cleaner made from a loon's beak (fig. 22b). » Vanstone, James W.
