Notes:
Used by Thomas S. Parke for duck hunting 1930's—1960's. Stool held shot gun shells and lunch and was readily totable into the duck flats. Extension of the seat allowed a dry place to sit and a rotating seat so the hunter could easily keep track of flying ducks while moving as little as possible.
Stool cleaned with warm water, dish soap, soft scrub brush and cloth before given to CBJ museum. Dusty upon arrival at Museum. Dusted with soft cloth.
