cake spatula

cake spatula

Description:

A metal cake spatula (also referred as a frosting spreader) with a pale yellow plastic handle that was used by Teresa Summerskill and it was donated by Laura Burden. On the front of the blade at the bottom reads "Stainless Steel U.S.A - Ecko Forge" with a logo of two stickmen side by side pounding with hammers. The company Ecko Forge was first found in 1889 by Edward Katzinger, in which the "Ecko" name was shortened to the actual company name of the Edward Katzinger Company. However, Ecko Forge was demolished from its independence in September 1965 and became a division of another large corporation, which was the American Home Products.

hand maul, Lil'wat

hand maul, Lil'wat

Description:

[This item was repatriated to Lil'wat Nation Nov 22, 2019]. Granite hand maul. Column, flat topped. Below the top a slight bulge tapers to an area for gripping. Below that the column flares gradually to a base wider than the top. History: About 1950, ploughing a field belonging to Nelson Fraser, Mr. Fougberg found the maul in two sections. Later someone glued the parts together. In 1956 Mrs. Fraser gave the maul to the finder. [Update 2019] Hand mauls are almost exclusive to the indigenous people of the southern coast. The hand maul required hard stone not prone to cracking or chipping; it was used to pound wedges into a cedar log to split off planks, as well as for other woodworking requirements. The maul was made by pecking and grinding techniques. A stone of suitable size and material was selected, pecked to the required shape, ground smooth, then polished with a piece of oiled hide.
