Large Tiki Fork and Spoon Collecting - Collecting Tiki

These were one of the first "Tiki" items I bought in a thrift store, before I knew anything about what was cool and what wasn't. (same story with the mask between them - bigbro, look away...) They're so common, why not pick up a set? They're great wall-filler. These ones are particularly crude; the tikis almost unrecognizable. Here in Edmonton, authentic artifacts are very few and far between, so we've got to make do with the touristy stuff that managed to make it this far north. I'll never tout them as anything but cheap, tourist crap, along the same lines as monkey pod mugs and tikis made in the Philippines. I really like that idea of turning them into door handles. I'm thinking about picking up one of those sets with the owls instead of tikis, to post to "Owl Central" of course! :wink:
