The end of last year, this tiki showed up for sale. It was kinda pricey and I didn't wanna spend the money. As soon as I decided to buy it, it was gone. I kicked myself everyday for not buying it. Then I stumbled in research that its Exactly the one shown in the Jungle & Sea Imports catalog. I kicked myself even harder.

Yesterday it was relisted, so I pounced. When I went to pick it up, he said he had bought it from a guy who had it in his house for years, and that guy bought it from a closed down Tiki themed Liquor store in LA area in the 60's.

So From Jungle & Sea Imports, to a Liquor Store, to the high desert and finally to my Hut... Almost 7 ft tall, abalone shell eyes, base 3 ft across..

Then the guy shows me the other one. I made him an offer, and brought home the cannibal too. Where he's from, I don't know. Closest I could find style wise this big was the Morro Bay Harbor Hut ones.

Today, I'm a happy man..
