The small pineapple full of Rum (Dated 1983) is ceramic and the Tiki is a plastic bottle full of Macadamia Liqueur (with moldy insides!!). The tall Tahitian(?) Dancer in the center is about 11" tall and full of Rum. Made of ceramic and is dated 1985. Cool black Maori Mask carving which is about 12" tall. The Tiki statue carving on the right is about 8" tall and is stamped "Jungle Jim Kau Hawaii" on the bottom. Nice carving, anybody know him?? This pretty unique hut is a lamp made from shells and soldered together with brass. It is quite large and measures about 13" tall and about 10" wide and about 8" deep. Almost a perfect house for G.I. Joe's! The windows open along with the door and a bigger panel opens in the back where you can get the to the bulb. Very well made. Too bright a bulb in there right now but you get the idea. One of my favorite finds lately is this last item which is something I haven't seen before. It is just like the OMC Skull Mugs that you see but instead of the mug, it's a bank. Same size as the mugs just no handle and a thicker base. I was pretty stoked to find it! Love that glaze!! That's it for now. Happy Hunting!! TabooDan
