I happened to be sifting through the wares at one of my local haunts when I came across a decanter featured in The Book of Tiki.

Naturally I snagged it quick and went home to check it versus the book. It is definitely the same maker, but is a slightly different variation from the one featured.

Rather than having a ceramic handle on the side, it has a metal handle attached at the top like an old glass milk jug. It also has two white hands molded in and protruding from the face just below the skull stopper in a "stop!" gesture like a traffic cop.

Otherwise it is a dead ringer for the bottle in the text.

So, my question:

Does anyone have any information about this decanter? Year it was made? Why it is different from the one in the book? Does anyone else have one or the variation in Sven's book?

While I intend to keep it (most likely) I would also be curious as to it's worth.

Can anyone help?

I'll post pics of it this weekend.

Thanks,

pele
