    Description

    Antique Brain Tanned & Beaded Pouch with Handmade Fishing Line and Three Handmade Hooks.
    I inherited this from my father. He would go with friends fishing in the northeast also in the great lakes region. They used indian guides and often he would trade his supplies for things they offered in trade. This is one and he loved it because of its association with fishing which he loved.
    The pouch was appraised in 2017 and I will include the appraisal and the card of the appraiser.
    She told me it was made of brain tanned leather and the beads were old trade beads. They are all intact and you can see the wonderful design. She estimated the age to be c1900 and from a great lakes area Native American Tribe. The leather is dry but there are no cracks and there is a holder attached made of cotton string which is the same as used on the small handmade fishing line. There is a line of string, 3 handmade hooks that are rusty and the string is attached to a small piece of wood which has red line painted on it.
    The pouch measures 3 1/2" long and 3" at the widest. The little wood piece measures 2 1/4".
    Shipping will be in tissue and bubble and insured for the selling price. It will Ship Priority and Tracking. Price is 20.00 for all USA bidders.
    Thanks for looking and asking all questions before bidding.
