content: FROM CARD: "OLD CATALOG CALLS THIS ONE OF SEVERAL "FISHING ARROWS," BUT THE TAG ATTACHED SAYS IT IS A "NET STRETCHER". A SMOOTH STICK, WRAPPED IN THREE PLACES WITH CEDAR (?) BARK. ILLUS., IN SMITHSONIAN REPORT FOR 1893, PL. 50, FIG. 1-2, P. 679." The card seems to refer only to the one stick that is (apparently) a net stretcher, not an arrow, but there are also 9 arrows with this number.
label: Notes
content: Records in the SI Archives of the Office of Distribution say that an unspecified number of fish arrows with this number were sent to the Trocadero in Paris in 1885.
