A lot of Micronesian and Melanesian material was brought back in the 1940s by servicemen during the War ,and I've even picked up arrows from people that spent part of the 60s living in New Guinea while in the Peace Corp. I decided to stick with artifacts, because to me they have more of a history to them, but I still do always keep an eye out for Tiki Mugs and paper out of habit. Best regards, Nifo Oti
