I'm not out there hunting for the tiki goods much anymore because I just don't have that much room for any new stuff, but now and then ya just get the itch... Had a good weekend trolling for tiki here in town. :)

Two Trader Vics coffee based drink mugs, a lone TV shaker, a Hawaiian Inn paddle licker and a paddle sucker and an eyeless Daga tiki mug. In the back are a busty hula girl bottle holder in the original box and a ceramic nautilus shell similar to what they used at Trader Vics.

Here's a close up of the bottle holder and the nautilus shell. Sabu started a thread about the nautilus shell. Mine doesn't have the exact same paint pattern as the TV ones.

Also found a carved Asmat bowl from Dutch New Guinea, a Leeteg print and one of those black velvet souvenir pillow cases, in this case from New Zealand.

Here are the fruits of my last big hunt which was a few months ago. Since these pics were still in my camera, here ya go:

Three old floats:

Four Hawaiian Inn mugs, a Mai Kai postcard and two Tiki Gardens shot glasses.

A lamp who's base is a fake nautical lamp, an unopened plastic container of Hawaiian Navy Grog, and an empty Okolehao decanter.
