Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

Was on my way back from a client's who lives just a few blocks away this afternoon, and coming up the back lane I saw something my eyes could not believe: two ceramic Tiki items sitting on the dumpster across from our building. They are both mint (probably very new). The green job is over twice the height of the yellow one, which is more of a shotglass. The green one reads "Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee" on the back , and the shot says "UCLA, Los Angeles, California". Probably souvenir items from frat bashes or something? No value I'm pretty sure, but hey, that's not why I collect! They made my whole damn month - and when I think about the constant parade of junk and bottle-pickers through our lane, and what the odds were against my being first to see these...I am so grateful. aloha, emspace.
