I guess this Topic should really be about the Trader Vic warehouse sales and the items people have picked up from them or if they are gonna have another.
Well, crazy collector Psycho Tiki D posted a cool postcard of "The Coconut Palm Garden" at Don The Beachcombers in Hawaii over in the collecting Tiki thread.

I noticed something in it that I didn't really hear too much about being posted here before. Check out this picture:

Look in the foliage off to the right, just under the palm tree, and you see that same mysterious Tiki that has got alot of talk on here and has had alot of famous pictures taken! In alot of the posts where these images of the Tiki are taken, I never noticed any mention of Don the Beachcombers before. Maybe it's just me, I may have missed it. I don't have one of those cards so I am not sure if it says where the pictures were taken on the back.

I think this is the same Tiki and the same spot alot of the above posted pictures and postcards came from. Still doesn't help with who carved them but probably a local Hawaiian carver.

This topic probably does deserve it's own thread just to see how many shots and how much info. we can actually find out about this style of Tiki and this famous spot. Even though there is alot of info. on this thread!
