<p>[QUOTE="Mark London, post: 361065, member: 346"]They are both nice but otherwise unremarkable pieces which were most likely produced in a sanitarium in either Alberta, Manitoba, or Quebec. In these hospitals the Inuit patients were provided with soft wood to carve which produced far less harmful dust than the soapstone provided to the patients in Hamilton, Ontario. Neither name appears on my Inuit artist database. I would put the dates to the mid to late 1950's.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
