Items picked up over WWII

Militaria
Medium - What is the item made out of (e.g. "silver")?: 
All items are carved out of wood.
Distinguishing marks or signature (e.g. artist's name, silver hallmark): 
None that I have seen.
Date Period (Estimated date of item if known): 
Collected during WWII. The boomerangs have 1943 painted on them.
Size and dimensions of this item: 
Boomerangs are about a foot, carvings are about 15in.
Condition: 
Good
History: 
My stepdad's grandfather picked up these items during his time serving in WWII. They've been passed down to me, and I don't have much use for them. Since they seem to have a lot of history behind them, I imagine that they should be worth something, but I can't tell. The carvings are from the Philippines, and the boomerangs from Australia.
