Sofki Spoon

notes: label: Notes
content: Notes from Sturtevant's personal catalog: "Sofki spoon, used, 16 1/8" long. "FRAMKAIN" incised into top of surface of handle, "F" into bottom surface. Purchased 1959 or 1960 for $6.50 from souvenir stand in Museum of the American Indian, New York. Specimen "discarded" from their catalogued collections; original catalog number scraped off base of handle before sale - the only possible means of locating original catalog data would be to search all cards for Seminole spoons to locate those marked "discarded" in hope that card mentions the very unusual incised name. Sale label only marked "Seminole $6.50;" from shape, is probably Florida Seminole. "
