Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

A Hawaiian Inn knife licker mug (we've been wanting one of those for awhile, especially since we're planning on going there this year), Kahiki S&P shakers, a couple of single Bali Hai and Trader Vic's S&P shakers (if anybody has singles to sell... we gotta finish our pairs!), an awesome Tonga Room slim bucket mug my dad found for us for Christmas, and an OMC Chinese mug stamped with the San Francisco Holiday Inn Chinatown on the bottom (if anyone wants to trade for the version with glasses, I'm game.) Some other excellent stuff as well (if I do say so), such as... This common 2-faced clear tiki goblet, but with markings from the long-running (and now closed) Mai Khi Lounge in Milwaukee, WI... I'd never seen anything with markings from there for sale before. This was snagged in a thrift shop not far from where it once stood... We also found this excellent United Airlines Menehune decanter with all his accoutrements... A set of these cool Ron Rico Rum glasses marked copyright 1952 for $3 each... This funky 10" record featuring Trader Vic talking about going on safari with Bing Crosby and their wives, with a generic song about hunting by the Bingster himself on the B side (I can't figure what promotion this was used for, but there's no label markings on it, so it was definitely some kinda goofy promotional item. I do enjoy how they talk casually about shooting tigers and such... a lot's changed since then, like... I dunno... the tiger population...) An Exotica gem I've been looking for in the wild for years (I am a total die-hard nerd for Exotica LPs... this elusive Chaino LP had been on the top of my list for a long, long while now...) And... does anybody know anything about this mug?? Super cool design and it comes with a wooden stand similar to what Kwak Belgian beer is served in. There's a good amount of crazing, so I'm sure its old, but the only marking just says "Japan." A scan of Ooga Mooga shows nothing with the usual suspects (OMC, Orchids)... ideas?? More soon! --Pete
