There seem to be only two old examples known of this sort of club; one in the British Museum and the other in Cambridge University Museum. For a description and illustrations see Peter Buck's 1944 book on Arts and Crafts of the Cook Islands. But that isn't the only place they are mentioned;Terence Barrow's (1979) book on the Art of Tahiti and Neighbouring Islands also has a photo of the Cambridge club.
