A few new things
A Chiki Tiki mug , an unmarked Ku mug, and a nice OoH R-70
The R-70 has a cool story, a few years ago my friends neighbor,(an elderly man) died, his house sat empty in limbo while the family fought over it. Recently it was all settled and they cleaned it out for sale and had a yard sale. My friends went over and bought the R-70 for 50 cents with me in mind.

I also found a home carved balsa wood tiki and a tourist toy uke.

and here is my favorite recent find ...although it's not really "tiki", it was so wierd and obscure that it found a permanent home in my bar.
an unmarked pink chalkware monkey-like figure with a knitted hat.
My dad said these were given away at carnivals before stuffed animals.


Has anyone ever seen another?
