Thanks DC.
A handful of people will get pissed when I say this, but those are old and rare
I think.
I'm no expert on the Kahiki but have lived near it my whole life and went there off and on
my whole life.
So I can say I never saw those in the gift shop or even anywhere till now.
Would guess those to be early Sapp, Henry era.

Lastly some get angry when I say items are old Kahiki as they don't want others
to know so they would have a better chance at finding these items, Maybe.
I would say that Tiki news, Book of tiki, Tiki Quest and Oooga Mooga ECT...
helps the collecting and yes drives up the price of tiki.
Good Bad? depends if you are now in collecting or selling mode.
But at this time I'm in more of a fact finding mode, one that just says hay look at this
cool thing from the Kahiki.
This is one reason I feel Kahiki items are so highly collected first they had so many
made by so may people lots of these are one offs or very few made items.
How many places had three different mug makers, or even lasted long enough for three mug makers.
Another reason is Kahiki was around so long people grew to love it.
Lastly I would say the fact that Kahiki items are well documented, you see the item, fall in
love with the item, must have the item.
All this make Kahiki sell high.
How many of you have a Tiki quest with post it notes on the mugs you want in it?
