Hokeeeh folks: I dove into my storage, and I am pulling out a couple of resin float lamps from KELBO'S! for sale

PLUS I will be selling THIS original KELBO'S SIGN for my friend, restaurant archeologist and LA Magazine editor CHRIS NICHOLS:

It is 8 foot long and can be backlit:

This one-of-a-kind original, in as is condition, will set you back a mere 500.- clams!

Now about those floats: Folks erroneously believe that glass floats are it, but back in the day, RESIN and fiberglass floats were the more common ceiling decor in Tiki restaurants - and you cannot get THOSE today anywhere, while glass ones are common again. I will sell these for cheap:

Here's some Kelbo's floats I've had hanging on my porch for years:

ALSO: You might have heard the tale of the Zamboanga's tailless monkeys - but how about Kelbo's tailless puffer fish!? I bet that many of you have sat in some old Tiki bar and stared at the old puffers petrified by countless nicotine nights, and wondered about their age? Now YOU can call such a rare specimen, steeped in the mana of a long gone Tiki palace, your own!:

PLUS I am getting rid of a bunch of Hawaiian shirts, so there will be some stuff for the XL guys.

But that's NOT ALL!: My friend and author colleague PETE MORUZZI will be joining me to sell the rare vintage mugs and decor items that graced his now defunct basement bar, so c'mon early, we'll be in front of the big waterfall!
