METALLIC IMTLEMEXTS OF NEW YORK TXDIANS 07 



Fig. 100 is a fine and slender steel tomahawk, with a pipe- 

 bowi, which belongs to Mr George Slocum of East Onondaga. 

 He had it from an old Indian who said it was used in the war of 

 1812. 



Fig. 92 is from a half size drawing of a pipe tomahawk by Mr 

 E. A. Grider. It is from the Bellinger farm, near Middleburg, 

 Schoharie co. The handle is hollow and on it are 19 groups of 

 three lines each which Mr Grider thought represented 19 scalps. 

 They are quite as likely to have been purely ornamental. 



Fig. 93 is a pipe tomahawk of unusual form, the handle of 

 w^hich is handsomely inlaid. The total length is 12J inches and 

 the part represented is of actual size. It is said to have been 

 given by an Indian woman to Mrs Thomas Dixon of Jamesville 

 N. Y. about 1800. 



Fig. 94 is a pewter tomahawk pipe found on Edward Black's 

 farm, east of Onondaga lake and south of Liverpool X. Y. It 

 has many moldings, and is slightly ornamented with dots. This 

 .would do very well for smoking and might have some slight 

 value in war. 



Fig. 95 is another tomahawk pipe from Stone Arabia, of the 

 same material and neatlv made. This is in the Richmond col- 

 lection. 



Fig. 88 is in the same cabinet, and came from Canada, but is 

 no finer than many in New York. It is a brass pipe tomahawk, 

 edged with steel and handsomely ornamented. Pipes of the 

 same character may still be seen on the New York reservations, 

 and many historical societies have good examples. 



Fig. 96 is not so common and is much reduced here. It is a 

 tomahawk pipe belonging to Cornelius Johnson of the Onon- 

 daga reservation. From the top of the bowl to the extreme 

 point directly below is lOJ inches. Below the handle it has the 

 form of a double-edged dagger, widest in the middle. The han- 

 dle is adorned with brass nails and is finished with a brass knob 

 in front. 



Fig. 179 is a curious steel tomahawk in Mr William Louns- 

 berry's collection at Tioga Center, but found on the north side
