One was postmarked 1932 to give me the date. At least back then I would say it was a pretty safe bet that the Tikis were actually carved IN HAWAII! Now it's sure no guarantee that just because it's shipped from Hawaii or you bought it in Hawaii that it actually came from Hawaii. The only way to tell for sure is to know the carver IS Hawaiian and to WATCH him carve it! I'm sorry, I digress....that's a very nice vintage photo! :D
