Yea Ry we thought it was weird to. Its defiantly a brown bear claw though, I am a hunter and saw them in person,
Either the dude shot it on a hunting trip and saved the claws,or he shot it down the street lol after all it was the1840s. That claw came from the pit I dug the flask in. Rick

Okay, so it is a claw?  I know dogs and cats, thankfully no bears.  The counter looks like Uba Tuba to me.

Let me see if I can clear this up.  First off, welcome Periwinkle, Anna's friend and RedGinger - great to have ya on the forum!   The claw is what Rick posted starting with post #17 of this thread, the other thing that I posted is believed to be a pig tusk.  The counter is actually a  green marble plant stand that I bought at a local auction because I believed it to be a piece of local green marble (actually serpentine) that came from a quarry about two miles south of me.  The necklace is my bling.  The canoe at top was a neckerchief slide I carved but worried I'd loose so I added it to the oddly split walnut I might have found  in Cunningham Fall's State Park in a creek bed thirty years ago, the net weight I found in the Susquehanna about 15 year's ago, the bird point I found on the shore of the chesapeake bay about five years ago, and the medicine bag my mom got me in Germany.  Not much room for the pig tusk but I was thinking about it!

Sacagawea is only known through the accounts of the Lewis and Clark journals and the journals of others in the “Corps of Discovery”.  What is known is that without this ordinary Shoshone girl, who carried her two month old son, Jean Baptiste to the Pacific Ocean and back the expedition would most certainly have ended in utter failure.
