Very interesting. Oh well, thanks for your response. I actually bought them in Oregon ten years ago and thought they are PNW Indian. Then I found a tiny word carved on the back of one that I read as Panama, for five years until a friend with shaper eyes, said "that is not Panama, that word is Philippines." I checked it with a magnifying glass and he was right. Oh, by the way isn't everything that goes into a Tiki Bar "Tiki" [ Edited by: nuimaleko 2005-07-25 15:28 ] [ Edited by: nuimaleko 2005-07-25 19:32 ]
