Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

One question though: Ooga Mooga says it should be marked Orchids R-99 on the bottom, and this one isn't. Was any one making knock offs, or was there just some variation? Also, any one know what this ugly monstrosity is? Seems familiar but I'm not placing it. It's kinda sad, for all that we have this crazy eclectic culture here in Portland, two major tiki bars, and a major tiki convention, tiki is pretty thin on the ground around here. I get excited when I find anything... :/
