So I had a bit of a score over the weekend. Found a fellow selling his collection on Craigslist. A lot of it is dross, but there were a few interesting pieces...

A pair of Coco Joe's, though both are missing the labels, more's the pity. Also couple of newer resin pieces. If any one knows anything about them...

Also a pair of plaster wall hangers...

Some more modern pieces, if any one knows the salt and pepper shakers or the short mug I'd be glad to know it

A fun little wooden fellow, maybe 16" inches tall... And a few other wooden pieces I'm not sure what to make of...


Some coconuts from Le Targeit... And a smattering of other ceramics. Shame there wasn't a mate to the tale pepper shaker...

And these guys. The Harvey's is kinda rough, but its the other ones I'm curious about. They appear to be hobiest pieces, as one of the mugs is marked '69 with some peoples names, likewise the tall fellow, '66 and something about good luck etc etc. Any info would be appreciated.

There was a bit of other stuff, bad Party City plastic tiki that will likely go to the Goodwill, some African and South American stuff the guy THOUGHT was tiki, but I'm reasonably pleased with the find as a whole.
