Nothing too great but a few little charmers. I sure can't wait for the garage sales and swap meets to start up again!! The cool one on the left is not marked but I believe it to be a mug by Napco. It is very cool and has a different face on each side and the details are great. The one in the middle is one of those stack able hobby mugs and on the right is a Buzz's Polynesian Restaurant coconut mug made by DAGA of Hawaii. A pair of salt and peppers that are Japanese made little brown jugs with "Surfers Paradise" on the top. Coco Joe Ku Tiki in the center and a cool pair of salt and peppers made by Treasure Craft in the shape of a Rum XXX Barrel and XXX Jug. On the left is one of those strange stack able little tray guys with the holder from Tildenware, a nice Rum Decanter and a cool Napkin holder from Westwood. Okay here we have a pineapple and a coconut mug from Paradise Park in Hawaii. The coconut mug is marked on the bottom by Daga but the pineapple one is not. I am not sure of the age but I think they are probably from the eighties. The Asian mug in the center has the foil OMC label on it and stands about 8" tall. I have seen these with a Las Vegas restaurant name on them. The two pieces on the right are little framed guys from the late 60's or 1970's and are manufactured by "Jaru" out of California. You can see these two listed in the new book 'Tiki Modern' on p.190. You will have to look pretty close but they are in the center of that catalog page. They are model#s P110 and they have the paper labels on the back. They have a wood frame and a white/beige carded backing. The actual figures are ceramic and are not carved wood as they look. Still pretty cool though. I may replace the backings as they do have some water damage and I think an old cool material will look nicer. Not bad for $1.50 each! Here's a little closer shot.
