Description:
Metal Knife. "Cascade Silver Warranted" on back of blade. Hard to read.
Notes:
Collection donated by Linda Wahto, brought in by donor's daughter Myiia Whistler. According to Whistler, Wahto and Willette Janes would hunt bottles together. Bottles found in Treadwell/Douglas area. Some are from Myiia's grandfather's house/cabin on the Treadwell Ditch. He grew up there — they tossed garbage into the ditch. Mom/Grandma and Janes would bottle hunt up at the cabin site.

Looks as if the serrated edges were either worn away, or it never had a serated edge.Looks as if it was molded in one piece. Blade is not separate from handle.
