Doctor Z and I didn't expect to find much on Saturday with the steady rain, but we went to 4 or 5 indoor estate sales and every one had some tiki. Here's a combined photo of our finds. After taking this photo and getting the items stowed out of the rain, we went to anther sale and Doctor Z found a few more fish floats and a small moai carved out of marble. Good day overall.

The weathered Milan Guanko tiki was only $10 ("You should have been here yesterday. We sold a bunch of other tikis, including a big lava-rock one"). I think Doctor Z paid $5 for the Coco Joe's plaque. The fish floats are all old antiques and very heavy ("You should have been here yesterday. We had some of the square glass fish-floats then.") The Tretchikoff "Miss Wong" matches the "Green Lady" I own in size and frame-style.

Keep an eye open at the Rose Bowl and Pasadena swapmeets, in case those other tikis we missed show up there.
