Great Lakes Club?

Just ended on eBay a fine example of a circa 1800 Native American club in the shape of a Gar fish

. Evidently a 19th to early 20th century aboriginal club from Australia. Seems the seller went to the curator at the Cincinati museum of natural history and he agreed with him that it was a great lakes tribal club

. This just reinforces my opinion that most curators don't know what there talking about

The bottom one is in my collection.
