Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

A Daga mug marked Kauai Resort Hotel Wailua, Kauai. A mint Tiki Gardens postcard book. A mint "Decorator Tiki Bowl" in it's original box. And the coolest is a wooden knife from Rapa Nui (I suppose) with a kavakava man and a birdman carved into the handle. There was a lot of tiki we passed on, especially Coco Joe's which are now apparently more valuable than gold ("Hawaiiana's in now." I was told by a dealer). There were quite a few overpriced mugs as well. Semi-tiki(almost sort of?) Unga Bunga bar tool caddy. Not tiki but couldn't pass it up. Cool ceramic elephant kicking some tiger ass.
