Sneaky Tiki Salt & Pepper Shakers... - Collecting Tiki

They are from Kevin Kidney's (aka Miehana, aka Mr. Hawaiian Eye) collection. Now how about guessing what the original inspiration to that Harvey's Tiki was! I only can connect it to that baby bearing Austral Islands Tiki or that Cook Islands Tiki, because of the little Tiki on the chest... The Salt and Pepper shakers actually look more like Japanese Manga robots than Tikis to me...a great find. The last remaining ones were probably all destroyed in the fire that spelled the end of Harvey's Polynesian Room (which was, by the way, decorated by Ely Hedley)
