Just wanted to share some of our latest finds over our travels during the holiday season. A small Ports o' Call cup that we found at Unclaimed Baggage in N. Alabama. I think that it is a sugar or condiment dish as it looks like it once had a lid. What was someone doing flying around the skies with a Ports O' Call dish in their bag?? Moving on, a very nice Al Harrington glass. An un-marked skull mag and 2 glasses with Asian/Indian "dancers" on them. I have seen these same glasses in the 2003 tiki drinks calender. My favorite find is the OMC Las Vegas Aku-Aku rum barrel. I spotted it in a junk shop and practically dove for it! It was priced at $2.00 but on the bottom you could see where someone picked it up at a thrift store for .45 cents. Next great find was the OMC Hawaiian Cottage Geisha Room mug from Merchentville NJ. We found it at the same store as the Aku-Aku mug for a whopping .75 cents! Moving on again, a nice Treasure Craft tiki and coffee mill cup, a small wood carved tiki candle holder (the most expensive item in the pic..), a New Zealand key holder (?) plaque with a nice Maori style carving, and finally a Hawaiian Hut matchbook.

BK, We found that same "Savage! Tihati's South Seas Spectacular" record last year up in Cleveland, GA. A personal favorite of mine with both great pics on the back and some great tunes.
