I picked up this hapawood resin plate a few years back at the swapmeet:

I didn't buy it right away because it wasn't a Coco Joes and it didn't have a tiki on it. The sticker said the manufacturer was Pictures of Paradise. Since I didn'tfind anything else that day,I went back and got it.

I remember when I bought it the lady told me it was from the 60's. She got mad at me when I pointed out the 1986 copyright on it

At the time,I never noticed how much the 27-192 looked like a Cocojoes catalog number

The plate I had was fresh in my mind because I had just moved it on my shelf of stuff.

And the answer was right there in front of me the whole time. I just couldn't connect the dots...

Buzzy Out!
