Back in '98 we were driving on route 30 through central Pennsylvania when we stopped in a little antique shop. There was one of those priced at $25. We thought it was too much money and not really THAT cool. We asked it they'd do better on the price, and when they said no, we walked. A year or two later, we were in the area again and decided we wanted that little Tiki after all, but of course he was gone. We regret having let that one go as we've never come across another. I checked our tall black Tiki, and there are two marks on the bottom, but I can't make anything out. Still a cool piece with nice detail– and it's quite heavy. I like it even more now knowing it made the trip all the way from Disney to the Maxwell Street market in Chicago where we picked him up for five bucks. -Duke
