OK, this will be it for me for a while. This morning went to an antique flea market. Didn't find too much. Got there at 7am and most of the vendors were still unpacking. My semi-trained eyes spotted a tiki mug off in the distance and I skeedaddled over to the table and grabbed it. Says $6 on the tag so I start fishing out the money. I ask the guy if he's got any more of "that kinda stuff." He says, "What, McCoy?" "No, tiki or Hawaiian stuff." He says, "This is a McCoy." and starts telling me all kinds of blah blah blah and I don't care and don't really know if he knows what he's talking about. I already had the money in my hand, why's he still giving me the sales pitch? Did McCoy make tiki mugs? No markings. It's got crazing but you have to look kind of hard to see it. I like it for six bucks.

The Polynesian Village salt and peppers cost a fiver and the swizzle stick says "Hawaiian Village" and has a tiki figure on the business end. Says "Hawaii in Tampa" on the back. Cool. Cost one thin dollar. I also got a suck 'em up hawaii shot glass that looked pretty old but forgot to put it in the pic. Got some other shot glasses too but they're not tiki.
