A friendly people - just don't piss them off!

And those mugs and molds are Duncan molds, of which Sabu found these ads a while back:

You can keep them in the classic shade of Tiki--- Brown!

...or follow THESE happy, oh so "colorful" paint suggestions!:

Ho boy, what a riot! SOME fun, eh?

Thanks Bigbro,

So I went to an estate sale today and found all these things there. I arrived about an hour after the sale started and to my chagrin the was an entire set of rattan 60's furniture that had been sold. Lots of cool Mid Century items and I also missed out on the tiki mugs that were out for sale, no telling what they were.

The mother had a kiln and a huge variety of Duncan molds. The kiln had been sold, but I asked about the molds, ergo the greenware I purchased. The son was selling all of his mom and dad's stuff off. After digging around for awhile, he was unable to locate the molds, but is going to continue looking for me

The dad was stationed in the South Pacific during WWII, so that is where the club came from, according to the son and daugther in law, they mentioned New Calendonia, but I wasn't sure, so thanks for the confirmation!

All in all, the purchase was a whopping $17.00 (the club with the picture taped to it was $7.00). Not all of them are this low, but it evens out in the end!
