found one that was noted in the description as 'possibly rennel islands'

according to wiki, there are only 1830 residents on a subsistance level economy, i don't expect they get many tourists to buy new clubs & they likely don't have many older ones left. however, they do seem to have the occasional land disputes...

anyhow: 34.5 cm. long. looks like coconut/palm wood...the yellowed weaving makes me think this isn't new.
