"The person HE bought it from claimed"
I hate to hear that, it's like insurance if you come back and say "this tiki is new".
He goes well all I can say is the guy told me.....
BUT it is a nice tiki.
Some of the stuff from Kahiki I was told by bill they got in Mexico.
And some of it came from Oceanic Arts we know.
But this tiki does not look like any of those.
It looks better than some of the Mexican ones really.
If it was old it would be really hard and dry, Is it?
The mouth has a newer fresh sanded look, am I wrong?
I do not remember seeing it at the Kahiki.
Knew a girl at the bank that said that she had a tiki from the Kahiki that they
never put in the Kahiki because it had a wanger and they thought it best not to put it out.
So it was a mint tiki from Kahiki, tried to buy it but she would not sell.
I think she knew Bob at Oceanic Arts and he may have given it to her, ask him he may remember.
There was the Waikiki restaurant on Broad st as well.
AND The Top Of The Isle downtown.
Where was the auction?
Was it held by the same lady who had the last Kahiki auction.
What else was in the auction?
More question than answers.
Look here.
