Strangely, most of the stuff I got this week came in twos:

The first of two tiki trophies is this Hawaiian one without the nameplate. I think this trophy was won in a surf contest in Hawaii in the 60's by surf legend Buzzy Trent.

This tiki trophy is actually a salt shaker glued to a tablesawed 4x4 with a plaque on it.

They put a sticker on the top to hide the holes

I think this trophy was Joel Tudor's participant trophy. He gave it to a homeless guy to sell at the swap meet because he was running out of room on his trophy shelf.

Two westwood nodders and two unmarked, vintage tiki mugs:

Two resin Kona coffee mill cups

Two of the most poorly carved Phillipino Ku mugs ever:

I wonder if they same guy carved both of those or if they all were supposed to be like that.

Two similar ceramic tiki face vessels, each one is missing one improtant feature: the other shaker and the other eye

Two more rarer :lol: variations of phillipino Hawaiian Ku mugs and a rare "Hawaii" carved cup. I say it's rare because most cups with that design say "Honduras" or "Costa Rica" on them.

A hawaii medallion tied on to a seashell necklace with a trashbag wire:

It has` a small chip on the back and it also says "Aloha: Tony Lease tours"

A cocojoe's letter opener that I didn't have yet:

And finally, an aquarium:

I want to see if I can turn it into a custom multi tiered CocoJoe's display case. Kind of like the one Khan Tikimon made, but only deeper with a pedestal in it. Challenge will be to get he wood for the back wall to hang the plaques on. I cant fit a single piece in because of the hole on top, so I'll have to plank it up with pieces that will fit through the top opening somehow.

Wordy post.
Buzzy Out!
