Most of the Fijian clubs are from the 1870s-90 and I believe Britain was the colonial power in the island at that time. I do not think that these old clubs were made for sailors or tourists. The ones that you see on ebay that are ebonized are 1950s-90s tourist pieces. Maybe the south pacific clubs are just more chic than there African counter parts to collect.
