Description
Summary:Steel knife blade riveted with iron and wooden plugs to a bone handle. CC: "Purchased from Rev. Glen Ridnour, 1963." Probably previously part of the Portland Art Museum's (PAM) Axel Rasmussen Collection. Axel Rasmussen worked in Alaska between 1926-1936. Rasmussen went to Alaska in the late 1920s where he was Superintendent of Schools at Wrangell. In 1937 he left Wrangall for a similar position in Skagway where he stayed until his death in 1945. His collection was donated to the Portland Art Museum in 1948. PAM sold some of the Rasmussen Collection to the St. Paul Gallery in 1958. Rev. Glen Ridenour purchased items from the St. Paul Gallery and sold them to the Logan Museum of Anthropology in 1963-1964.
