Very interesting. Do you think they were locally made or with development/processes brought along by the colonials? I hope you will not mind donating them to a museum one day when future Nigerians will decide to appreciate their cultures more .
no one has asked for them to be displayed. Nigeria don't value such antiques

just as u said the ones that have holes(my great grandma once said these type are usually left in termite mounds after they are made ,hence the holes) and the emerald stone brown type has alot of value, people has brought as high as 400k to buy but can't sell them ,they are priceless,

as u sell remember to keep for your kids as a sort of heirloom .

these are over 8 generations old, the ones with plenty of holes are kept by the females from where I come from ( they transfer these to their daughters)
ye!! I have once disposed this type out of ignorance. It was left by my mum long ago

This fan was bought in 1942 by my grandfather. Till date it's still there and working well. No oiling, no maintenance.

We all have that one thing we all grow up to meet in our families... Share yours.

Mine is electronic iron and wooden wall clock.
Mom says the iron is the first thing my dad bought with his first salary, and that was 4 years before they meet.

Till date old the shît is still working like it was made yesterday, best iron I've ever used.
You must use with caution or you'll set your clothes on fire in less than a minute.
I miss seeing that wall clock

We used to have one back in the days
