I'm glad you like your Goodies! A few years ago, I bought a bunch of new,old stock (70's?) pieces from Pacific Fine Arts at the swapmeet. Many pieces were unfinished...I've seen the tiki carver in black, stained brown (hapawood) and an antiqued copper version. Funny that your Mom can relate to the Monkey bar...They even have a monkey shaped mug. :lol: That bronze Tiki is a replica of a Coco Joe's tiki. After the bankruptcy sale, the new owner had a few assorted pieces recast in bronze (90's) Must have been a slow seller because they turned up at the swapmeet and were quickly snatched up. Thanks Liz for organizing these Swaps :) Freddie [ Edited by: HOUSE OF KU 2010-12-07 00:33 ]
