Trader Vic's Tiki: thoughts? - Collecting Tiki

You can see them better on page 11, photographed at The Tikis. Trader vic's had other ones, so the ones offered are probably authentic. I know what you mean, the 300.- $ mark makes me feel iffy, too, if it is not a full scale Tiki.... I would go by the "do I really want this bad?" rule, and then not look back. I personally think the fishnet float lamps sound very intriguing! A lot of money, too, but the big colored glass ones are rare and first class...
