the shape of the mouth, those enormous teeth...all very un-tiki in my opinion.

That tiki is what Al used to call "Crazy Al Style", but is now commonly refered to as "HB Style."

According to this post...
Graphic-outline style of the mouth originally attributed to Crazy Al

...that mouth style on that tiki was taken from Crazy Al's tiki #11, so it cannot be any older than his original tiki, which would make it less than 10 years old. You can take in the copy of Tiki Magazine that Al talks about that tiki in to the antiques store guy and prove that it isn't as old as he says it is. And then tell him you can get a tiki like that for less than $100 out in California.

Maybe that tiki was in Sam's Seafood. Does anyone have any pictures of Sam's before it closed so we can see if maybe that tiki was in there at one time?

I'll carve you one just like it for $89.

Buzzy Out!
