Snagged this stuff while in Ventura Tiki is apprx.3 1/2' tall. I'm not crazy about the blk paint on the tiki and that will be changed. Float is a 12 incher,made by the mold method as opposed to blown and has salt deposits on the glass and rope. May be of Korean origin. Float was purchased at an antique store on main street. Another ice crusher in a color I don't have. The bowl is sold at the HKI but I was very happy to get both Tommy and Jimmy Kwan to "autograph" it. I bought 4 of their dbl old fashioned and two highball glasses for posterity even though they don't have any HKI markings on them. also picked up some "tiki bar" matchbooks at a thrift on main,and lotsa paper memento's from the HKI which I'll post at a later date Cheers [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2012-11-29 16:42 ]
