To add to Liz's comments...because Liz mentioned this to our new friend, today was one of those days you might have once a year. His brother was a long time collector of hawaiiana and tiki and we only saw a fraction of what is going to be sold. More of that in Tikimarket place, but suffice to say we haven't even scratched the surface yet. I thought I had seen it all and I was so wrong. Special mahalos to our host, his wife and children for letting us invade their space on a Saturday. I had the best time discussing collecting and the person who owned this remarkable collection. I spent more today than I have in awhile but I think it was well worth it. Todays finds... Skipper Kent's/Zombie Village menu. To make a little bit of my $$ spent today back, I will be selling the Bosko mugs! Don't know much about other than they are pricey! It is ok, the old owner knows! Bosko Bumatay?? Bosko speckled Moai?? Larger Bosko speckled Moai?? Bosko Witco tiki mug??? Same as above with a crack. A Trader Vic's shell bowl I haven't seen before, marked made in Japan. Peanut mug from the Trade Winds in Oxnard California. Earring mug from Zombie Village. Moai mug from The Tikis in Monterey Park California. Moai mug from Skipper Kent's San Francisco and Kona Hawaii. Repeat for me. The ever smiling Tiki Bob San Francisco CA. Three peat for me. Aku Aku Las Vegas Moai mug. Hula girl bowl Kahiki Columbus Ohio. Trader Vic red ceramic gold rim port light mug. Salt and pepper from the Bali Ha'i At The Beach New Orleans, LA. Two vintage chalkware hula girls. A surprise! The two chalkware hula girls outside. Probably now, my most favorite piece I own. I have never seen anything like this before. Larger hula figure in a bamboo frame with raised barkcloth fabric. The palm and hula girl are chalkware. This is a real beauty and very heavy. Chalkware together! Long day, staying home tomorrow! Later, PTD

Rick,

Nice scores at Brimfield, especially like the Witco and dude, I still haven't mailed out your mug, I am so sorry, but it has been a killer week.
