There's some great finds on here as of late. Here's some of the stuff I've found in the past month or so:

The hula nodder was a gift from a co-worker. She's quite large and looks about 50 years old (and yes, I might be talking about the coworker)...
I actually found two Okolehao decanters on Craigslist, but the green one I purchased is not pictured here. The black one is a lot larger than what I thought it was going to be (about 13" high)
The two blocky tourist tikis and the wooden kava kava man are all from Goodwill. I got 'em all for a song. The largest one is about 18" high.
The tiki mugs are both from thrift stores. It's my second black OMC moai mug, but I never had one like the small handled bisque one before. I wonder if anyone else has one? Mine is marked "Made in Japan" on the bottom.

Hey Slacks, I found one of those bisque, handled mugs recently as well. I wouldn't be shocked to find out they were used at The Beachcomber locations, as they were known to have used a green-glazed version. I'll post a photo of mine, maybe along with the rest of my finds from the last 6 or 7 months...
