Aloha!

I wanted to share my current tiki finds with the rest of you. I am quickly approaching my first year anniversary and my finds just keep getting better and better.

Many thanks to you all for answering all my questions and providing insight to a world previously unknown to me!

Here is some of what I picked up

The brown Scorpion Bowl is from the Islander, Stockon CA

The Lidded Moai is Aku Aku, Las Vegas as is the Bamboo mug. They had another lidded Moai, but 40 bucks more was a little too steep this week...:)

I think the plate is from the Islander in So. Cal. Its corningware, but that's all I can surmise. (any info is appreciated...:) )

The Triangle Diamond Head mug is from the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

The black Moai is from Leilani Luau in Fresno, CA.

The green Moai is unmarked, but has a Hoffman look to it (any info would be greatly appreciated).

The skull is from Trader Dick's, Sparks Nevada.

The other green Moai is of course from Mark Thomas' Outrigger it seems to be of a slightly different shade than the ones I have seen before (once again, they had more of these, but 20 bucks each kept me from getting those...).

The Fu Manchu mug is marked in Cantonese on the back, with on OMC sticker on the bottom. I have no idea where this one is from....

I also picked up some Daga Luau glasses for 50 cents each and a set of Steve Crane-esqe tiki Salt and Pepper shakers that say "Luau" on the front.

Thanks again for helping me feed the beast that has become my tiki urge...:)

Aloha!
