content: Toggling harpoon for sealing. See USNM Annual Report for 1900, Fig. 70, p. 275, and BAE 9th Annual Report, Fig. 227, p. 233 for illustrations of this type of sealing harpoon. Harpoon is marked on wooden shaft "Point Barrow" and very faintly "Seal Spear" and Ooglamie or Ooglaamie. The Ooglamie designation most likely indicates it was part of P. H. Ray collection, Accession number 13712, as Ooglamie was the term for Point Barrow used by Ray etc.. Possible catalogue number for this piece might be 56774, or maybe 89911?
