Working late into the morning, rainy weather, cold and laziness kept me away from my usual swap meet routine for a few weeks. I only managed to find a couple trivial items. I found a few things this week, which are pictured here with the last couple weeks stuff as well:

Cool old ass wood tiki lamp. Still works but no shade. Anyone recognize it or know where it's from?


A pair of Samoan storyboards

Fair sized Hawaiian tiki. Looks faded. Needs some beeswax to make it pop a bit. Where the hell ddid I leave my beeswax?

A mini profile of a Soloman Islands canoe prow:

5 Matchbooks:

PMP, Daga, 2 Tiki Farm, and DTBC barrel mug:

The Don's mug is marked with the "Don's Island States of America" abbreviation and the date "1947". Probably one of the oldest and rarest Don's cryptomug items out there. Or it was made in In-DONISiA in 1997 or 99?

Bunch of common mugs:


Sam's wooden Ku mug:


Nice quality early 60's art book from New Zealand from a guy who flew around and painted Pacific locales.


Tahiti section has the Licker tiki rendered:

Each page has a black and white sketch printed on thick stock acid free paper, opposite a single sided off sized trimmed color print on glossy heavy stock:


Tiki highlights:
PNG

Maori New Zealand

There's a lot on Hawaii, Asia, Mexico, and a few other island spots as well.

Buzzy Out!
