Ladies and Gentlemen,
Having recently moved to a new house, I am in the process of working on my trophy room. One of the things that is currently causing me angst (besides the fact I can't hang trophies in every room ) is how to hang my Masai spear collection perpendicular to the floor without showing any string, etc. How have some of you much more intelligent folks pulled it off? Pictures are welcome (and preferred since I never read the instructions anyway)! Thanks!

bwanamrm,
I take a cup hook and use it to support the top end of the spear point and use a "L" type curtain rod holder to support the bottom drilling a small hole in the shaft to insert the "L". I paint the fasteners black or use a magic marker on them. For two I use in a more vertical position, I took a piece of wood about 1.5"x1.5" and six inches long and bored two holes in it into which the metal bases of the spears are placed. The flat spear points are held by large plant or lacrame hooks. Kudude

I use small nails and sewing needles for mine. I position the sewing needles near where the point and the staff meet, then a nail to "rest" the staff on. I'll try and post a picture, but since the picture is in imagestation, may not work.

I ended up sticking mine into the cracks in the chairs cause the walls were to full, now I wondering what to do cause I gotta get rid of the chairs too. floors are to full

I have most of mine stuffed in a big tin milk can that is painted in African motif, simplified my life...I have a few that I drilled small holes in screwed them to the wall and patched the holes...but the real collector spears go into the can....My bow and quiver (very old and valuble) hangs high on the wall of my office, and the quiver is capped as the arrows still have old tar looking poison on them, hopefully its no longer potent, but my guess is that it would still kill you, I was told it could...

Ray,

I have the same type quiver with arrows (Tanzania). I was told the cap was to protect the poison from light. The light will effect the poison and turn it light colored. As long as it is black, I'm told it is potent.
