This week's stuff:

This PNG mask is spot on for the one in the OA catalog, but it's two feet instead of the listed catalog length of 3 feet:

I'll assume they made a 2' version at some point as well?

Maori Waka:

I have 5 different wakas now. Enough to make a subcatagory or branch of my Maori tourist art collection, which is a sub catagory of my Oceanic art collection, which is another branch in my overall Tiki collection...

(looks like a repainted) Maori mask. It also used to have a leather hanging strap

I never refinish pieces I buy because I generally like "as found" stuff, but I don't like this color so I'll probably "restore it."

Barrow Maori art boook

DTBC and Tradewinds matchbooks

Two Schirman's and an unmarked Schirmanesque piece:

Coco Joe's lot. Didn't think I had the letter opener, so I as required, I bought both.
Doh! Had it. Haven't accidently repeated in a while. Overpaid, too...

Cement Marq tiki:

This tiki was too unique to pass on:

Doesn't look like an exotic wood.

It has a dual sided carved feature thing going on:

Abstract pattern on back:

Harvey's Sail away and a Latitude 20 Torrance Omc mug

I thought I saw the back of 3 Tiki Bob's from afar, but the were only Latitude 20 Hula Girl mugs...

Beachbum Burt's glass:

I also got a large set of Philipino Ku fork/spoon to refashion as a gate handle.
