The pick of my last month's acqusitions - sometimes it's not so bad down here at the bottom of the world!

Trader Vic's Hawaii blue seahorse, $5 NZ (just over 3 bucks US), perfect condition:

Facsimile edition of the awesome "Te Tohunga" by Wilhelm Dittmer, originally published 1907 in English and German and containing some of the finest tiki art I've ever seen (and a great collection of Maori legends too). This guy was possibly the first European to interpret Maori art in a Western style. There are dozens of illustrations like the ones below:

3 1970 Matson Lines menus - Samoa, Tahiti, Hawaii:

Bamboo of China version of R-3 mug, gift from someone who attended my exhibtion opening:

Had few other good scores, but I will need to get some better pics of them.
