Well. fancy meeting you here!
I know that club! It has been doing me the favor of keeping the dust off the wall for a decade or so. Now that he's going back into the flow, I took another look. Love the scarification. Tribal appropriate design, I'd guess, of the Makonde in Tanzania. I think that you will be happy with it. All packaged and going out Mon! Thanx enjoy peace |

Hi Lew,
unfortunatly this is a product for the tourists. The club has all the same patina and the head is rudimentary. See exemples of a staff top and a fly whisk from the Makonde. Yours, Carlo |

It's still an interesting piece and quite heavy. |
Hi lew,
you didn't pay to much for your club, and most imported: you're enjoying it !! Just wanted to tell you that the club isn't so old as you would think it is... Carlo |

I figure it's probably 1950s-60s :shrug:. It's certainly not new the patina is not artificially applied. |
