Oceanic Club or Hobo Art?

[mmontoro]

I need some help from the club guys out there. I've had this implement for a while and searched the references available to me, which include Edge-Partington, Oldman, Clunie and Churchill, and haven't found anything similar.

This thing is just over 32 inches (81 cm.) long with a flanged head like a mace and carved panels with geometric patterns and what appear to be 3, 4 and 5 fish head-to-tail. It is heavy, hard wood with age cracks and tapers to a blunt point at the end opposite the head.















This next image is from a closed eBay auction and while shorter, this club has a similar head


Here is a another recently closed auction with a short one that was bid on with confidence

I'd be grateful for any information. I'm curious to know what my example is and if it is related to the shorter pieces. Thanks.
