content: Provenience note: There is an error on the catalog card and in the ledger listing for this specimen. The accession records clearly give the provenience as Augusta County, Virginia -- not "Greenbrier County, West Virgina." The latter is the collector's address. From card: "Hatchet shaped blade of iron, inlayed with a bowie-knife shaped piece of silver on which is incised: "H. Knox" (for Henry Knox). Opposite the blade is the small elongated pipe bowl, and a functional one in this case. Known as English type. Refer to: Mcguire, USNM. AR. 1897, p.465, ill.85 where it was given an accession no, instead of the cat. No. Handle of beechwood. Refer: Harold l. Peterson: American Indian Tomahawks, Museum Of The Amer. Indian, N.Y.C., Contributions vol. 19, p. 105, no. 123, illust. Loaned to the S.I. Centennial Comm. 7-9-75. Loaned returned Mar 22 1990." Identified as made by John Small of Vincennes, IN. Per Carolyn Gilman, 2008, the silver knife-shaped inlay is John Small's "signature."
