Blair Co. was one of the lead souvenir companies that had provided carved wood
products of all different shapes, sizes, bowls trays , carved tikis etc.
Blair Co was located in Honolulu .Paul Fujimoto to the best of my knowledge
was the operations manager, and lead tiki carver.His work can be seen all
over the Hawaiian islands.Fujimoto was one of the best tiki carvers in the
Hawaii in the 1960's .Fujimoto's carved tikis rarely come up on ebay for
auction.The first picture shows the carving that sold on ebay last year.
Don't know the type of wood, but very very nice appprox 30" tall .
The other two pictures are historical pictures of Blair Co. show room
featuring many of Fujimotos carvings , products and tikis.Note the detail
of the carving on the tall Ku Tikis.Wouldn't we all want one of these in
our own place ??
