Aloha Guys!!! Here is my Tiki find over the weekend. I scored this bitchin Tiki off one of my friends that goes by Captain Scott. He collects vintage surf stuff and picks up the occasional Tiki from time to time. He told me he found it at a swap meet. The guy that sold it to him said it belonged to his father. So this could very well be a mid-century find. There are no marks or nothing indicating its maker. It just has Tonga carved on the front base of the Tiki. This is wood. Not a mold and is heavy which indicates to me I found something good. I was thinking maybe his father carved this but that was not asked by Scott. Maybe some of you TCers know what I have or maybe you have seen one like it? In any case. I am excited to find this Tiki and will make a great edition to my Tiki room.
