[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 116632, member: 301"]Well....that auction ( u no the 1 ...) was a mess , but I stayed till the end to try and snag a couple of rarely seen fish wackers. The Northwest Coast 1st Nations people decorated everything , whether it was ceremonial or for everyday use , and clubs used to dispatch caught salmon and halibut were no exception . While these are not museum grade examples , they are in fine condition, & deserve a place in any good NWC collection.

Both show honest wear from use. I just couldn't pass them bye...........[/QUOTE]
