Hi Moondoggie. I had been interested in Tiki for the better part of 20 years - more if you count my years of watching Gilligan's Island - but finally decided to act on it and on my first trip to Safari Surf & Sport I found this mug. Previous to that I bought a tiki charm with red plastic jewel eyes and also a tiki key chain in Hawaii that I foolishly gave to my uncle.I wish I still had it! Also, when my sister went to Hawaii I asked her to bring me back a Tiki statue which she did. I recently bought five more mugs from Oceanic Arts which brings my total to 16 mugs. I have two wooden mugs that I bought 16 years ago that I include in this collection. I'll have to post a photo to see if anyone knows anything about them. Also, I just bought a small mug from an antique store but it has no markings but there are some on ebay that look like it. I also have a Tiki bottle opener made by Chiefly Co. that is located in Hawaii.
