Another Indian Club Story on Ebay
 
The seller says it is a 1700-1800 circa American Indian war club :eek: what nonsense! It is just another African tribal club. You will notice this is a private auction and how the price just jumped from $15-$510 can anyone say shill ;).

Well I suppose they would! After all, proof of trade in the 18thC between the Massai and Iroqouis must be preety rare! ;)
