    Hunting Boomerang from New South Wales
    This hunting boomerang, or throwstick was made out of Mulga, a dense desert hardwood. I acquired this boomerang in 1987 from Barclay Gallery in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. The Gallery obtained it from an auction house in England. The shape, material and construction method is similar to hunting boomerangs made in New South Wales. It was probably made in the 19th Century, based on color , construction method and source. Both sides are scraped smooth. This was accomplished by wetting the outer surface and using a stone tool to remove the soft surface wood. A very nice artifact in excellent condition.
    Length = 53 cm ; Weight = 195 gm
    Please, no international shipping. I can combine shipping on multiple items to save you money. If you purchase multiple auctions, do not send payment until after I send you an invoice so I can combine shipping charges. You can also send me a message telling me which items you want and I can make a custom Buy-It-Now listing that includes only the items that you want and at shipping costs. These are the only ways that I can offer reduced shipping costs to buyers because of recent procedural changes for eBay's managed payment system. You will receive a tracking number when I ship your package. The winning bidder agrees to make contact with me within 2 days of the end of the auction and/or to make payment within 4 days. I will leave feedback after the buyer receives their item and leaves positive feedback for me. Good luck and many thanx for purchasing my eBay items.
