[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 4435340, member: 301"]A few years ago, I bought these Northwest Coast fish / halibut clubs as circa early 1900's. Tribal attribution is , was uncertain . I looked everywhere possible to find similar or comparable items and came to my own conclusion from what I could find , that the dating was indeed close enough to satisfy me. Now, I've put them in an April auction, but their expert there told me that they see them around, and they are more circa 1950's . I'm not buying that....but as always, I'm open to be proven wrong....specially when my own expertise is being questioned. ( I'm very touchy , like that... :p ) Now, as much as I luv these , the ones out there in the major museums will blow yer socks off,,,,,and I know that these are not mid 1800's.....these are not them , but the ones I've seen recently from east coast museums are very much in line with my previous findings. Ok...enuf blah blah...... I'm looking for a broad base of help.....eyes aplenty ! even if you're not an expert. Anything relevant ..... for or against my assertion of antiquity ..... any questions or comments at all..... will be most welcomed.
