Well, it's been a crappy winter! I've wasted more time & gas traipsing around New England in search of anything Tiki, often coming home completely empty-handed. Here's what I have managed to find since November.
I think PTD refers to these as "the usual suspects":

This one's trade bait! Any offers? PM me if you do.:

Kinda neat Hawaii coasters, worth a buck for a set of 5:

Kool Leilani Rum nip bottle, with a bit o rum still in it, another buck:


These guys put a smile on my face last week. Only the one on the left is marked, but it's one I didn't have:

Neat Hawaii tour book with a couple of Tiki images:


First Treasurecraft ashtray I've found, dated 1962:


Pretty neat, homemade stackable mug with 2 different images on it:


Been watching this guy for a month, searching the web & poring over BOT to try to find his origin. I didn't want to buy a Mexican or African figure. His facial features sure look Tiki, but that thing on his head confuses me. Went back Sunday & he was 30% off, so he's going in my lounge, regardless. I'm posting him in the "Tiki, Not Tiki" thread, so please share any thoughts of his origin there & don't clog up this thread with my insecurities:


I'll post a couple more finds in Beyond Tiki.
