I THINK THE PRICE OF SOUTH PACIFIC CLUBS IS MOSTLY DUE TO THE GALLERIES TOUTING THEM AS HIGH CLASS ETHINOGRAPHIC ART. THEY HAVE BEEM PROFESSIONALLY PROMOTED FOR YEARS AS RARE AND A GOOD INVESTMENT AND THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF APPEAL.
THE REASON THE CLUBS MADE IN THE LAST 100 YEARS STILL SELL IS MOST COLLECTORS CAN'T AFFORD THE GOOD OLD ONES BUT STILL WANT AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE RARE FORMS. SO IF THEY ARE WELL MADE OR FROM THE 1920'S, TO 1940'S UNTIL THE PRESENT ALL HAVE THEIR DEVOTEES.
THERE IS ALSO COMPETICIAN IN NATIVE AMERICAN, AFRICAN, ECT. AT PRESENT THERE IS A COLLECTION OF PENOPSCOT CLUBS FOR SALE FOR A ASTOUNDING AMOUNT ON EBAY. I HAVE BID ON HUNDREDS OF THE THINGS ON EBAY PERHAPS SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO CORNER THE MARKET AS I STILL DON'T HAVE AN EXAMPLE OLD OR NEWLY MADE. I NOW PLAN TO JUST CARVE MY OWN.
