Another week's stuff

Wooden Sam's Ku cup:

I saw this guy sitting on a table of crap from all the way across a stall yesterday. I went to go get it, but I was stuck behind someone and I couldn't get to it right away. While I was waiting for the path to open, some dude picks it up and holds it for a while. Looked like he was going to get it. I went over there in case he changed his mind, and sure enough he did. He set it down and I ookooed it up right away!

A beautiful Tapa lounge robe.

A NIP Tahitian dancer:

She has a neat little shell necklace

I saw a big box of stirrers. I swept my hand over it to see the range of them and up pops the Don the Beachcomber right away. A little more searching yielded two more:

A couple Castaways and Harveys matchbooks:

I found a lot of random Maori stuff this week. It seemed to be all over the place.

A book called Maori:

Two wooden statues:

I really like the one on the left

A couple little Maori dolls:

One has Moko

One is NIP and has a little Hei tiki. $6 original price tag.

Another Maori doll with the original box:

Yipwon inspired? Looks like the real thing.

I figured if I just put "Yipwon carving", Bigbro or someone would come along and say "That was in an old OA catalog and were made in Mexico and were in every Mid Modern century PolyAfricanAsian restaurant until the post tiki heyday revival...."

Hiltiki: We shall see...

Buzzy Out!
