The wood is definitely not new, and the piece is worn over many years. Like I stated, the old gent who had it has had it since the 70's. I thought it could have been from The Islands in Phoenix when it closed, or another Tiki bar in the area. At the base, there appears to be a makers mark, which looks like a wave, riptide, or weird g. I believe it could also be from Mexico, as I have seen carved totems down there that resemble the teeth cuts. It is a well made item, however. I believe it was anchored as their are bolt holes in the bottom. Any help to solve the mysterious blue tiki would be very appreciated.
