Yes, New Hebrides. A very nice club indeed but a common form, not taking any thing away because of that. It seems to be a form found on many of the Islands that make up present day Vanuatu. In "Ethnology Of Vanuatu, An early twentieth century study, Felix Speiser, Hawaii University Press" there are illustrated similar clubs that are recorded as being fron Malakula Island and Efate. Your club looks very much as if it is also from the very early part of the 20th century. Nice thing to have. If you cannot find room for????
