HERE IS A INTERESTING SET OF CLUBS SAID TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO NOVA SCOTIA BY A SAILOR CIRCA 1920. THEY APPEAR TO BE CARVED BY THE SAME CARVER AND MOST LIKELY MADE IN SAMOA. THE FORMS ARE A BIT DIFFERENT BUT THE CARVING IS WELL DONE BUT MOST LIKELY CEREMONIAL OR ARTISTIC TOURIST ITEMS. PATINA AND WEAR ABOUT RIGHT FOR 1920'S AND THE WOOD TYPE.
#1 & #2. 1920'S 29 INCH CLUB THE STRANGEST OF THE LOT #3. , #4. & #5. 1920'S SAMOA 41 INCHES LONG #6. & #7. 1920'S SAMOA 34 IN LONG #8. & #9. 1920'S SAMOA 32 IN. LONG # 10., #11, & #12. 1920'S SAMOA 40 INCHES LONG Last edited by VANDOO; 3rd September 2015 at 05:01 AM. |

As per your request; it measures 31"long and is quite heavy for it's size.You advised me that it was Samoan, probably 1920's, 1930's and that the letters indicated Missionary influence.Any chance you know what it spells out or are they just random?
