These were at a rummage sale on Saturday. $20 for all three. I didn't buy them. I know - I'm stupid. Kick me.

Brandomoai - I love that Coco Joe plaque. You win this round, grasshopper. Looks like you cleaned out the Strathcona antique mall of everything tiki they had (except for a nice carved Maori tiki - did you see it? It was about 16 bucks). As per your wish, I've restored the photos to the Beachcomber thread in Locating Tiki.

As for closeup pictures, look for your camera's macro setting . On some digital cameras it's marked with a tulip icon. It lets you get right up close and stay in focus.

I only won because I'm slightly obsessive. I saw that Maori tiki - I liked it, but had to pass because I had my heart set on something ceramic. They also had an old edition of Kon Tiki, fairly well-worn, for $4 which I also passed on. If I see them there next time, I'll probably pick them up. And thank you again for restoring those photos! As for the macro setting, I was using it, but I can't remember how to manually focus. I'll figure it out some day. I like the mug you found - mugs are my favourite thing to collect. I don't have any duplicates yet, but when I do I'll be hitting you up for trades!
