A pestle, used to pack salmon along the Columbia River in the 19th century. The pestle is carved from wood and painted. Having black pigment remaining, with stripes on the handle and pigment on the knob of the handle. Length: 10 1/8 inches. In excellent condition with a gloss patina. The Columbia River "rises in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It flows northwest and then south into the US state of Washington, then turns west to form most of the border between Washington and the state of Oregon before emptying into the Pacific Ocean."
An old label attached with string, states: "Columbia River Salmon Packing Pestel" (Pestle incorrectly spelled on label).

In 1864, the first commercial salmon cannery was established on a barge in the Sacramento River. In 1866 the cannery was relocated to the Columbia River. The Columbia River's last major cannery closed in 1980.
