Another week, another pile of stuff makes its way into my life.

My first two finds are kind of interesting ones which I am seeking any other morsels of info that any of you collectors may have on them.

The first one is this tiki:

I carried it around forever thinking it was wood. Closer inspection showed it to be a resin casting. It's 16" tall, by 4" wide, and 3" deep.

When I bought it, the guy told me it was from Alaska. I laughed internally because I thought that he was confusing totem poles with tikis. Then I turned it over and read this:

Creed Totems, Anchorage Alaska. The only info I found on Creed was that they made resin castings of Native American art and they were from Alaska.
Any other info on Creed out there?

Second is a mug.
Says Pat's on the front

Jeanne ceramics hawaii on the bottom

As well as Jeanne Molds with a date of either: 1999, 1989, or 1987

Most probably pat's at Punalu'u. I know Pat's had a Daga mug. No other mention of this mug or maker that I could find.
Anyone know more about this mug or maker?

Now the easy stuff:

A pair of Strikow decanters

dark one from 1958

White one from 1961

Maoi tissue box holder:

Air New Zealand HeiTiki pendant

Large size Trader Vic's Menehunes stirrer stick

Some Hawaii postcards

My favorite is this one:

Funny thing is, that's how I spend my leisure time too!
