that tiki happens to be the largest one of the united airlines tikis made back in the day....i was fortunate to find one..many travel agency's had them and they were also placed in airport displays....they are quite sought after......i suspect some enterprizing tiki enthusiast is already trying tio figure out how to relieve this woman of her tiki and whatever else she may have ...and this is truely the downside of tiki archeology....we all want to share our stories and we all want the places we discover them to remain unaltered for all to see and enjoy....but people have collections to feed and smell money on ebay so as soon as something is posted, the sharks are on the move...uncle trav, you should try to rescue this tiki for yourself....you discovered it. also, don't forget other non tiki folk patrol this website just to get clued in to what's hot and rare....anything we share about rare items here is scrutinized.
