content: Ledger book seems to indicate that 6194 should be a stone arrowhead (see A6191). This pipe is not listed under that number, and therefore it could be misnumbered. The pipe does have this written on the side: "6194 / E. Jewett" and this on the bottom: "6194 / Lake Huron / ? Chippewa" However, the numbers have been "refreshed" and the other information could have been added later, based on the ledger entry for this incorrect number (6194). On the other hand, "Lake Huron" seems to be written on the side in very faded, almost illegible writing. The other possibility is that the number 6194 was mistakenly assigned to both items, creating some confusion in the ledger book. In any case, the pipe will retain this number until the original number can be found.
