Milan Guanko Tiki
We just bought this guy in an antique mall here in Knoxville. We'd seen him about 2 years ago and went back last week to see him still there. We were not sure he would sell it. It had a high price tag and sure enough, when we asked today he said he didn't want to sell it. But we asked and he made an offer that was in our ballpark and we took it. We had already researched it. On page 248 of BOT, on the far left you'll see one very much like it. He's over 6 feet tall on his stand. The BOT says Guanko was prolific. So just how many of his tiki's are out there today? If any of you have postcards, etc. of The Islander or other places he carved for mentioned on 249 of BOT, please examine them for our new fella.
