content: The original spool is currently owned by William R. Brockman of Greenville, Indiana. Mr. Brockman was at the Museum Support Center viewing archaeological collections in February, 2013 when he noticed that one of our object casts matched one of the objects in his private collection. Mr. Brockman mailed his original object to me for comparison with a letter explaining how the object became part of his personal collection. Pictures of this object show the cast on the right and the original, which has been returned, on the left. The object history according to Mr. Brockman: "The spool is pictured in "The Meuser Collection" Published by Robert N. Cponverse in 1977. Dr. Meuser collected from early 1920 - 1971 and upon his death the collection was sold by Garths Auction Service, Stratford, Ohio in the early 1970's. A Hugh Huff, a collector from New Castle, Indiana, bought the spool, and has his catalog #H165 on the end of it. After Huff passed away in early 1980 I bought the spool from the family and added my catalog #B19/2.
