Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

And I humbly agree with Sven, those tikis are awful in appearance. But in an area where tikis are becoming more scarce by the day (Vintage and Antique dealers are to blame, not that i wouldn't buy from them.. i like finding them for a cheaper price) I persoanly pick up anything that's tiki. Since I started collecting, I have never turned down anything that I would consider tiki or tiki related. Infact if I come across anything tiki that is either in abundance of or out of my price range I promise my Tx Brothers and Sisters (and fellow TC'ers) to post about it. I'm not trying to start anything, just validating both of your claims. You see Juno, your response to Sven was very intellegent. No "f- yous" and such, alot of class.. That's why I like this board. Oh what was I going to say... OH I got a great find. There is a little vintage market in the small town of Forreston (10 miles up the road from me) I bought me a Ratan Tiki bar for $225. It's still at the store because I was in the car, and last sunday was raining and tomarrow will be raining. Soooo... be looking for the pics Sunday evening here in this thread. -one man aspiring to be everyone’s favorite unkle. http://www.unklejohn.com [ Edited by: Unkle John on 2004-01-23 08:24 ]
