Found these little guys at the local Goodwill here in Charleston, SC a few days ago.
Mass produced, souvenir material I'm sure but was delighted to spot them.

You can see in this pic-on the bottom of the mid-sized one, it reads-"Bora Bora 1965". Looks like it was written with a ball-point pen so the authenticity of the inscription can't be guaranteed.

also found this wood/plastic relief map/clock at the local flea market-the old guy told me that it was a 'clectable' and that he needed 8 dollars for for it-he took 5 so I 'clected' it.

You can kinda see the 'reliefiness' of the islands on the map/clock here-

Here's a close-up of the tiki on the piece--if Shutterfly doesn't crop it for me like they tend to do.
