Vintage Native Alaskan Eskimo Inuit Wooden Fish Net Mending Needle & Net Spacer




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:50020352Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Origin: Western AlaskaArtisan: Unknown
Tribal Affiliation: AleutProvenance: Private Collection
Original Description:
Excellent example of an early 20th late 19th century mending needle with a net spacer. The spacer insured continuity in the mesh size which was crucial when targeting specific fish species.  Originally designed to be used for mending seal gut or baleen fish nets.  Similar designs have been used by most of the early ocean going cultures of Alaska.  With early specimens made from tusk or bone.  This same design (now in plastic) is used today to mend modern fishing gea...r.  Nice pair of everyday items essential for any Eskimo/Inuit Collection.  I am glad to combine shipping.  Please check out my other Alaskan artifacts.  Please note that the last picture is taken on a 1" x 1" grid for reference.
