Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) /Donated by Eugen Brandeis (Imperial Governor of the Marshall Islands) April 1900, collected by Antonie Brandeis (Jaluit) The provenance of this object is unclear. In the old inventory book, the object is catalogued with the old number 2152 as an "Old shark hook made of dolphin tooth", with the addition "Old, rare piece from a chief" and assigned to the Brandeis collection. In the object list for the 2nd Brandeis consignment of November 1901, this corresponds to object no. 32 "Old shark hook. Dolphin tooth. Old, rare specimen from a chieftain" (SAF C3/241/2). However, this object appears to be a different fishhook, as the hook is made of hardwood. It is possible that the collector had already made the mistake, or perhaps the object was mistaken for another fishhook after it arrived in Freiburg. In this case, it could be no. 47 or 48 of the first Brandeis consignment from April 1900 with the old inventory numbers 1322 and 1323 ("Haifischhaken. Catj in kabogo. Wurzel d. Eisenholzbaumes", SAF D.Sm 35/1), neither of which received new inventory numbers.
