Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

Lots of good stuff at both locales, but very pricey, so I had to pretend I was at a casino, and take only a fixed amount with me to spend. Most of what I bought was the usual Stockton Islander/Trader Dick's/Harvey's stuff that you can find pretty much everywhere in the Bay Area, but I was pretty jazzed to finally get a Tiki Bob's skull mug at a somewhat reasonable price. L-R: Stockton Islander 3-face mug, Trader Dick's Moai, Tiki Bob's Skull mug, vintage Orchids R-72, small Harvey's Hula Girl bowl. I don't wanna talk about all the cool stuff I had to pass up due to lack of funds, or shipping costs, and if I had a nickel for every Harvey's Sneaky Tiki and Hula Girl mug I passed up, I'd have....well, a lot of nickels.
