Tacoma, Washington: (Central News Company), no date (ca. 1926). First and only edition. Oblong 8vo. 18 pp. Signed on title-page by author D.F. Tozier. Illustrated with half-tone photographs by W.H. Gilstrap. Woven reed fiber binding over paper, with mounted printed label, stitched with leather throng and beads; damp stain in fore-edge at rear affecting half of text.

Very rare first edition of one of the earliest collector's catalogues of Native American artifacts.

This collection was compiled by Dorr F. Tozier (1843-1926), a captain in the United States Revenue Cutter Service (precursor of the United States Coast Guard). Over his nearly 40 years of service, mostly stationed along the Pacific Northwest Coast, Tozier had countless interactions with different indigenous nations and began to collect their artifacts. His collection was first put on display at the Tacoma Ferry Museum in Washington in the early 1900s, likely corresponding with this publication.
