<p>[QUOTE="Mark London, post: 9738951, member: 346"]The base seems to have an obscured disc number. The disc numbers were assigned to the Inuit at a time when there were no surnames and Inuit lived a semi nomadic existence. They were issued medallions each beginning with the prefix E for eastern arctic or W for western arctic. Yours is scratched to the point where it is impossible to make out clearly. Sadly the piece is damaged beyond repair. I will look again when I’m in front of a large monitor to see if I can make out the number any better…[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
