BigBro was right when he said something about tiki falling into a black hole of American collective memory (or something to that effect). For many years since the mid 1960's my parents had a pair of wall-hanging tikis. Through at least two moves, they were always on display until 1981 when my parents divorced and the house was sold. The tikis have not been seen since. After 20 years it finally dawned on me that I hadn't seen them in a long while although I couldn't describe them to save my life. Turns out my Dad was the one who originally bought them even though Mom did the decorating in the house (another trend?). I've since searched through all my Dad's old boxes to no avail. I know my Mom doesn't have them, at least not anymore.

So the question becomes, does ANYONE out there have a pair of these guys? My Dad couldn't have been the ONLY one who bought these. I'm pretty sure they were ceramic (maybe).

The only photo I have that even somewhat shows them was taken by me when I was about 14. Here's the overall shot and a blow-up of the tikis. Anybody have a clue?? I'd love to find a pair of these guys again.
