I've had some luck, too. I was going to wait till the end of the month, but I'm not that patient. Here are my finds for the last 3 or so weeks. (sorry - this is pretty image-heavy!)
Al Harrington hiball glass, from the Polynesian Palace somewhere in Hawaii, with four little Ku figures on the other side of the glass. Picked up from the Salvation Army on 111 Ave.

Geisha Mug:

Marked Suehiro at the Airport Inn (Sweet Daddy T: you've found a few things from this place, right?). This was from Value Village on 163 St, I think.

Coco Joe plaque: The God Lono. Scored at the V & V on 34 Ave.

Kon Tiki S&P, marked "Design by S. Crane" on bottom. Tracked down at the Old Strathcona Antique Mall.

Set of 5 paddle-shaped swizzles from our very own Beachcomber restaurant. Finally, some hard evidence that Tiki did exist in Edmonton! (wish I could see those photos from the thread on Locating Tiki) Also from the Old Strath Antique Mall.

I couldn't get a clearer picture than this because I don't actually know how to use my camera.

I also found a bevy of autographed Polynesian records, the most notable of which is probably the Al Harrington "I Love this Land" album. Found at the Goodwill on 51 Ave (where I spied Sweet Daddy Tiki but hid my identity in the shadows of the record shelf...) and the V & V on 34 Ave.





I think this one's frame-worthy!
