THOMAS BARNETT from Birmingham, England founded the NIAGARA FALLS MUSEUM in Ontario in 1827.
WILLIAM JAMIESON was one of Canada’s most renowned dealers of ethnographic antiques. In his early career, Billy was described as the treasure-hunting Indiana Jones with a taste for the bizarre. His collection included a dozen shrunken heads. He was a reality TV star of History Channel’s Treasure Trader show. Billy Jamieson became prominent after purchasing the entire content of the NIAGARA FALL MUSEUM, housing Canada’s oldest ethnographic and natural history collection of seven hundred thousand objects.
This fine and rare NORTHEN ALASKA WAR DAGGER was also part of the NIAGARA FALLS MUSEUM’s collection and later part of WILLIAM JAMIESON’s collection.
