Original catalog card written by Kannenberg for L300-74 (5535APK): "All Catlinite Calumet. Locality: Keshena, Menominee Reservation. Received from Reginald Oshkosh, A. P. Kannenberg Collection, Date: 1915. This is a rather modern type pipe but it is a choice treasure and keepsake. It was given to me by Reginald Oshkosh about 3 months before he died for a kind deed I did for him when he was in the Keshena jail for being drunk."
