IF indeed it can be corroborated that this collection was amassed through the ancient traditional custom of actually DRINKING from these vessels, we would have a rare historic treasure here, representing the original arch-form of Tiki mug collecting! One could trace the original owner's cocktail likes and dislikes (bet the Bumatay served a Dr. Funk) by comparing the mugs to the original menu, and retell a very personal history of an original Polynesian pop participant. Who here is in contact with the seller? He would be more inclined to bother sharing any info about it with the buyer. This hoard is only Tiki-historically significant as long as it is not broken up. |
