About This Item

Uncle Fred’s Travel-size Tusk

This TB commemorates my Great Uncle Fred Klerekoper, who was a Presbyterian Missionary in Alaska in the 1930s and 40s. He mailed a real Walrus Tusk to my Grandfather in Michigan without any packaging. He simply put the addresses on white medical tape to the Tusk and popped it in the mail. Can you imagine doing that today?

Note: No walruses were harmed in the creation of this TB.

Thank you for the cache, I picked it up while in the Yukon. It is now placed in Elma Washington. I hope Fred’s tusk gets to MI.

I enjoyed discovering this today while writing logs for a hike in Spenceville. While looking at a profile of a previous finder I saw this and was able to grab the tracking number. 😎
