Not much luck lately. Not winning on ebay, not finding much locally. I just found out a couple weeks ago that employees of my favorite antique mall are putting nice tiki pieces aside for some guy. :x

A couple of weeks ago I went to Goodwill on Hwy 17-92 and found this cannibal tiki:

I grabbed it up real quick but didn't find anything else. At the cash register I ask "Do you get many wood carvings like this?" The cashier responded that they typically don't but today they put out several.

I replied, "You mean those wooden elephants?"

"No, little carved guys like this one. I put five or six out myself just a little while ago." :(

Ack! That made me feel sick. I probably just missed them! I figure, as cannibal tikis usually come in threes, that there were probably the other two cannibals and maybe a couple other pieces as well. I'm guessing this guy was left behind because of the crack along side the head of the lower tiki. He was only $2, so I can't believe someone left him behind and broke up the set.

I found this piece from PNG yesterday:

Also found these two postcards:

The Royal Hawaiian was in Daytona.

Anyone see any shifty ebayers selling two cannibal tikis let me know so I can reunite the family. :D

I was googling up some stuff on the Asaro mudmen of PNG and found this pic which cracked me up. Thought I'd share.
