Last weeks stuff:

A older set of wooden male and female tikis:

They're pretty big too. About 13" tall and 5" wide.

A male and female set of Trader Vics Menehunes, minus the sticks:

I saw a shoe box full of matches. I ran my hand across the top and out pop two old Bali Hai matchbooks. Before I dug through the rest, I asked how much for the matches. I ended up buying the whole box for $5. A couple stalls down, I find a bigger box and repeat the run of my hand through it to see what comes up recon pass. Immediately up pops a Trader Vic's BHills book. I ask how much and the guy says two bucks for the whole box. this was like a ream of paper size box half full. I take it, and spend the rest of the day digging.
The final tiki matchbook find tally:
Two Bali Hai matchbooks and a BHills Trader Vic's...

...and three Wan Qs. If Wan Qs sounds familar, it's because it was mentioned on pg 62 of BOT


At least there were some tiki matches in there. :roll:

A few vintage Hawaii and surfing postcards. Can you spot the tiki?

It's next to the band on the boat entering the fern grotto:

This album comes with a 16 page full color booklet. I took the page with a tiki on it and put in the cover's window:
