Hello,
I'm the seller of the tikis. I bought these in the Logan Square neighborhood back in I think '97. I can't remember the name of the shop, but it was on Milwaukee Ave. , just north of Diversey & Kimball where my old studio used to be. I paid $400 for the pair, and I had no idea of the demand for these things or I'd have asked more. My wife talked me down to $350. Anyway we're thrilled that these are going to a real tiki enthusiast. Do we deserve a mai tai?
We have a couple of wall hangings (tapestry like drawings) that we bought when we were in Tonga in the South Pacific on a sailing trip years ago.
If anyone's interested, we can post some pics. They're pretty cool.
Aloha!
