content: As of 2011, there are 2 clubs numbered E21508. The club with red and blue painted decoration, which is tagged E21508-0, matches the description on the old exhibit label for E21508, see text above. It also has the catalogue number and other information written on it in old white ink consistent with the other original museum labelling done in the White collection. The club tagged E21508-1, which has beadwork decoration, does not match the description on the old exhibit label. Also, its catalogue number is written in black ink at a later date than the number on E21508-0. It is possible that the catalogue number on E21508-1 may not be correct.
