A different sort of find...

My dad discovered this in a box while cleaning out his garage. He didn't know where it came from so he sent me these photos. When I was in elementary school I went on a class field-trip to "Marine World, Africa USA" up in Central California. I purchased this as a souvenir at one of the shops; it's my very first tiki mug, it cost $1.39.

Some stuff I found this weekend...

A Coco Joe's piece; I'm not sure if it's an ashtry or some sort of serving dish.

Not particularly Tiki, a Benihana Chef Mug.

An interesting piece of barware, the "Bar Aid". Find the drink you wish to mix among those listed (80 in all) on the front panel, note the number on the left - say Planter's Punch, #63 - turn the thumb wheel until "63" appears in the small window on the left and the instructions for mixing your drink appear in the larger window on the right. It's metal with a baked enamel finish. I'm guessing it's from the '50s or '60s.

I also found a 3 record album of Disney's Fantasia soundtrack from 1957, distributed by Vista records. Incorporated into the album is a 24 page "Program" from the film with lots of very nice illustrations.
