Thanks for adding pa'akiki.
That sure does look like Kahiki it even has the same wall paper like diffuser inside
of the basket.

I think I have a light from Kon tiki that has that same hat.
It was very fragile so I shellacked the hat so as to make stronger.
The paper on these things get very brittle and white glue and or shellac can
help with this problem, they can also mold or rot.
Tapa can also get moldy or rot as it's really wood right, plus the inks on Tapa
can wash off/bleed with ease.

"This is giving me some great ideas"
Thanks Teadoir this is part of the reason I bought the Kahiki lights so I could see
what makes em tick.

More to come....
