Recently found a seller with a Tiki pole from the SF TV's. It as used as a post for some handrailing, the pole is roughly 4 feet by 9 inches. Used on some steps, it has a notch on the bottom to fit a step, and holes for mounting the rail through the top Tiki. The design is a pair of two-sided Marquesan Tikis, very similar to the far left pole in "B.O.T" page 244, picture on bottom of page. Almost certainly OA handiwork.

Seller wants $300, a bit steep but if I negotiate I may get it. What does everyone, anyone, think?

He also has four LARGE glass lights, made to resemble glass fishing floats. These are reportedly from the Islander Stockton, not certain...never went! They are really big, 20" or more diameter, $350 per. Too big for our place, and too pricey, but they're interesting.

Any input appreciated. Maybe I get it and bring it along on the crawl, ha ha!
