Starting out this morning pretty early and low and behold who do I see checking out a couple of Mark Thomas Outrigger Moai mugs, my pal rugbymatt. I thought I was the only one who was up at 6:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning to hunt and now I know better! Good to chat and walk with you Matt and thanks for the help loading the Witco bench!

Here are my finds from today...


More matchbooks...anyone heard of the Lanai Room in Merced California?


Fisherman's Wharf Hawaii seahorse mug and a bucket mug from Sun Wung Heung San Francisco.


Witco bench, thanks again Matt for helping me carry and load this!

At the beginning of this morning, I asked Matt to come over to check out this box of stuff I found. I could not place the style on some of the pieces. Matt and I thought they were PNG and when we spoke to the seller he confirmed they were and were brought back to the US by a gentleman stationed there during WWII. Not sure if all the pieces are PNG, so any experts that can help me identify these pieces, I would appreciate it immensely:


Shell neckpiece?


Smaller head made out of bone.


Another necklace made out of shell and bone or tortoise shell.


Necklace made of shell and boar's tusk.


Not even sure what this is supposed to be, looks like Felix the Cat on acid.


Wood carving.


Hook piece.


And the face looks familiar, but I can't remember the name?

Thanks,

PTD
