Leftover Roundup: Recent Tiki-type finds (in the last month or so) I haven't posted yet:

Flamingo paint-by-numbers ($4.99); 4 "peanut" mugs from the MGM Grand and Bally's, Reno (99¢ each); Treasurecraft Hawaiian couple salt & pepper ($1.99); Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide (Revised, 1972)($2.49) -- I didn't think I needed the revised edition because I have the 1947 original, but there's some new stuff that makes this worth having, like Mai Tai recipes, a chapter of Pisco recipes, and photos of Vic's mugs and bar glasses, like this lovely lady I haven't seen anywhere else:

HIP Tiki bottle/can opener with rhinestone eyes ($1.99); HIP Ku Tiki in "Olivine" (resin & sand)($3.99); Kona Coffee Mill mug (plastic)(49¢); "shorty" Tiki mug (50¢ at a church rummage sale -- wasn't even for sale, was being used to hold bundles of knitting needles!); Aloha Hawaii pineapple salt & pepper ($1.99); dinner menu from he Pacific Far East Line "S.S. Mariposa" en route from Honolulu to San Francisco, Jan. 22, 1974 (50¢). The scene is Paopao Bay, Moorea, Tahiti:
