I think this is very nice and I feel sure it is pre ww2. I really like the engraved fish. If you look very close you can see that there was lime rubbed into the carving. The use of lime being very widespread makes it difficult to be certain of the exact island group. Some solomom artifact are distinctive as Vandoo hinted at, like this early 1900s staff. Tim
