It came from a basket of crap kids could pick from at a restaraunt in Kansas City, KS around 1968. I remember it because the family was preparing to move to Hawaii. The next tiki I received was from my Dad. It was a little Coco Joe tiki with jeweled eyes. Unfortunately, I no longer have the tikis. I didn't collect tiki items until I started shopping flea markets a few years ago and got the idea to collect vintage Hawaiiana stuff; especially as it relates to Florida. The first thing I bought was a metal tiki bottle opener. [ Edited by: Kailuageoff on 2002-08-13 11:27 ] [ Edited by: Kailuageoff on 2002-08-13 11:30 ]
