This set of three lime spatulas seem to me to be Massim in style but the set is from the Beasley collection and labeled as Collingwood Bay. This is entirely possible as I have collected a number of Massim-style lime spatulas in the Collingwood Bay region. Only the middle spatula is tagged with the Beasley label with the number 3025 but the group of three all purportedly come from Beasley — a very early and prestigious British collector of Pacific artifacts. The spatulas range in size from 8 ¾" to 12 ¾" in height, all show signs of substantial use (not always the case with Massim material). sold
