Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

Slacks I had no idea there was a calgary location, and I also had no idea the swizzles came in that colour! :up:Last Friday decided to check out my neighbourhood second hand shop on my way to work. To my delight I found the three swizzles for $1 each. I should have gone through them all more carefully, but I was already late. The red one is from The Reef in Waikiki and features a young lad paddling an outrigger. The Blue one is from The Beachcomber Victoria, and the Green one is from the Kon-Tiki in Portland. During my lunch break I wandered through the Sally Ann and found the ceramic tiki. I rarely check there because they hardly ever have anything tiki related. The Jackknife is from Value Village. I guess it's supposed to represent a totem pole, but it seems to be a bazaar hybrid between african, bali, and alien. :up:Here are a few other swizzle colours from The Beachcomber that was in Victoria. I believe it closed in about 1984. The one that looks black is actually a very dark translucent ruby colour. The red one on the right is from the Edmonton location.
