So, I may have found a true treasure. A 3.5-4' tiki planter at an antique dealer for $75. It's definately vintage, I didn't get a chance to look for a mark. It's definately weathered. It's a small tiki with long arms holding a bowl shape over his head. I assume that it was used as a planter at one point, as it is too tall to be an ashtray. At any rate, I'm picking it up this weekend. It's in really good condition. Oh, and it has earrings. The guy I'm buying it from said he got it about 10 years ago when a restaurant in philly shut down. I don't think the guy has a clue, as even if it is just a vintage tiki, it is still well worth the $75. At any rate, I am having a very hard time trying to find photos of the Kona Kai in Philadelphia. Can anyone help me? I'm hoping it might show up in a photo somewhere, and I'll post photos of Him the day I pick it up.
