I have been collecting mid-century housewares for years and have shelves of collector books relating to patterns and manufacturers of dishware,FireKing,Pyrex,etc. All of them follow the format of showcasing each pattern with a production timeline and perhaps a price guide. I would LOVE to see some reference books that do the same for vintage tiki ceramics and ephemera. I own both the BOT and Tiki Quest and applaud both authors for their awe inspiring photos and descriptive text but I need more information!

To all you experts out there… is the production info just not available because most were manufactured in Asia or am I just a kook that wants to know that a certain mug was only produced between 1956-1957 by OMC and shipped only to the Portland Kon Tiki? I fear that I am just a kook, but are there any more of you out there that share my obsession? Are there any Schiffer Press books in the works that anyone knows about?
