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?

I have marked this trackable "missing" due to the archival of GCT1TZ, the last cache where it was dropped. Sorry for the lost trackable.
