Well, now that I've gone and put my foot in it with that Lanai mug post... - Collecting Tiki

The 5 in these two pictures are from my parents. Dad apparently quite liked tiki bars and rum drinks when he was dating my mom. By the time I was around to be taken to Kelbo's he was moving away from spirits and towards wine and beer... The three moai are all from The Tikis in "So. San Gabriel California" (according to the labels on the backs). These two I know even less about-- and my parents don't really remember the carryings-on from nearly half a century ago... I figure the skull is from Kelbo's, as they used to show such a mug on their light-box drink menus. If anyone can enlighten me about the one on the left I'd appreciate it. (Poor thing's a bit chipped but displays well.) I can also take other pictures as needed; right now you can't see the mug handles on the backs of those two because I wanted to show off the faces. The other two mugs I recently found at a local thrift, to my surprise-- I've found many odd things at said thrift but usually not tiki pieces. The Lanai mug's in the other thread, and before that I found a Mark Thomas Outrigger three-face bucket mug. (One thing I like with a smartphone is that I can try to get guesses as to what I'm looking at before I buy-- although not every site is readable on a phone!)
