Item Details

Description

My grandfather, John J. Allan, was Chief-of-Staff of the Salvation Army and travelled all over the world in the 1940s. He was given this by another missionary friend of his. He gave to me when I was a child in the early 1950s, but I was never allowed to play with it. I was told it was used by the men of the tribe to carry cowrey shells which were the local currency, and it still has a few in it. I have seen a picture of one almost identical in a museum, but I don't know what it is worth.
