This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 21 February 1961 "One of the many interested persons who have inspected the sperm whale at Himatangi Beach. This man endeavoured to carry out a minor dental operation with the aid of a hammer. Unfortunately he was unable to obtain a souvenir as the tooth was too well attached to the jaw."
