One hook is illus. in Fig. 184, p. 154 of Crossroads of Continents by William Fitzhugh and Aron Crowell, Smithsonian Press, 1988. One hook in storage is tagged: "Niblack p. 291". This presumably refers to "The Coast Indians of Southern Alaska and Northern British Columbia" by Ensign Albert P. Niblack in USNM Annual Report for 1888, though object does not seem to be illustrated there."I suspect these hooks may be either Cat. # E89204 or 89205 (or both), as these fishing lines are missing their hooks and the T numbered hooks resemble the ledger drawing of hook # 89204. If this is the case then they are Haida, collected by James G. Swan in 1883. - F. Pickering 11-30-1988
