Soloman Island Club, opinion 2?

I think this is a nice old club. I also believe my new club to be an old one and I see no reason for the larger flanged club to be equally old even though it is in superb condition. There is a big difference in the quallity of form and patina on the clubs featured in these two threads.

The figure in the link, is the small figure in the post card ca 1910. It was old then at the mission sale. It is now in the British museum with most of the other items from the mission table top sale. The museum lament the loss of cultural background to the figure. You can see that some of the shell in the forehead and else where has been lost. The figure has been through a few collections before now residing in the British Museum.
