That's certainly an odd one. A line of them as balusters on a stair would be amazing.

Looks like it is New Britain. According to the seller the black club head not including the spike is 10" long and 4" wide. When I look at the one in the link it seems that I have done rather well.

For those interested in this sort of thing I have these pictures "Arnoldsche, Form Colour Insperation , Oceanic Art from New Britain" It looks like my club might have been a weapon but it could still have been danced with more than head bashing, if ever.

Nice to have more information. I'm trying to ignore any potential double entendres involved with decorating a bridegroom's club for a wedding.

CONGRADULATIONS A NICE CLUB WITH GOOD WORKMANSHIP AND IN PERFECT CONDITION.
![]() THERE HAVE BEEN FERTILITY CEREMONIES FOR CROPS, LIVESTOCK OR CHILDREN TO MAKE THE TRIBE STRONG AND CONTINUE THE FAMILY SINCE BEFORE RECORDED HISTORY. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR MANS CREATIONS TO RESEMBLE THE ACTUAL OBJECTS INVOLVED ![]() THE SMALL PHALLIC AX IN A PREVIOUS POST MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THESE OBJECTS USED ONLY FOR CEREMONY. IT DIDN'T STRIKE ME AS SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE ENJOYED WIDE POPULARITY WITH TOURISTS. ![]() PRICES ON GOOD CLUBS HAVE TAKEN A BAD TURN FOR COLLECTORS OF (LIMITED MEANS= (ANYONE WHO IS NOT A MULTI MILLIONARE) ONCE THEY MOVE FROM EBAY OR THE GUN SHOWS AND ENTER THE ETHINOGRAPHIC ART GALLERY OR WORLD OF SOUTHBYS AND CHRISTIES ECT THEY ARE LOST FOREVER TO MIDDLE CLASS COLLECTORS. EVEN EBAY PRICES HAVE BEEN ARTIFICIALLY INFLATED I HAVE SEEN CLUBS I BID A FAIR PRICE ON SAY 3 TO 4 HUNDRED REAPPEAR ON EBAY FOR 1 TO 2 THOUSAND. IF YOUR PURPOSE IN COLLECTING IS FOR INVESTMENT ITS NOT A GOOD TIME TO INVEST IN CLUBS BETTER TO BUY GOLD. ![]() Last edited by VANDOO; 8th January 2011 at 12:35 AM. |

I now have this big boy, the pictures do not do it justice. I need some time to show it in its full glory. It really is one strike and your out.

My wife warned me that not everybody would see the funny side to my Cerne Abbas Giant impression but this picture gives some idea of the club.

Not the right posture for Cerne Abbas (sadly), but it is a magnificent club nonetheless.
Congrats, F |
