Yep, I picked these up off Kailua Beach. The canoe thing is an awesome ashtray with petroglyphs inside. It's a later version of one in Tiki Quest (pg. 182) from the 60s. My folks had one that my auntie from Kailua sent over. She sent us lots and lots of HIPs and Joes over the years, they all ended up in garage sales or whatever long before I (re)caught the Tiki bug. Live and learn! :), em.
