Went out hunting today and thought of this thread.
Here's what I found.
Was it tiki?
Not really, was I looking for it and even know of such a thing?
Could say yes and no to all of those questions in a way.

But here it is...
a BBQ salt and pepper shaker thing 50s style.
Now I'm going to tiki it up in time, but this as is would fit in
most of the tiki type parties we all have as is for sure.

True I had to pay $1.91 for it but still a find.
That would not cover shipping from eBay.

Next I got this a few days ago and it is one of my "tiki" holy grails.
A fish bill, it's tiki because Trader Vic had a sign painted on one in the first
Trader Vic's aka Hinky Dinks, dam I wish I had that one from Vic's!
And it's old exotic type stuff you would see in old tiki bars.

BUT it is hard to find these as they need to be old as you cannot fish these anymore.
Have seen some on eBay but not often and they sell high.

I put these here as to show that these are the kind of things you can find in the wild.
Will post after photos when I tiki up the Salt and pepper thing.
And when I hang the fish bill.
