Da Big Find Link - Collecting Tiki

Have no clue who made any of these! The only thing I can say is that one pole, the one you are holding up in pic # 6 (without head dress) reminds me of a Tiki that was massproduced and sold by ORCHIDS OF HAWAII. Maybe whoever carved these also provided the molds for those plastic Orchids Tikis... What a weird story: A forgotten tribe of Polynesian floor show dancers plieing their trade selfsufficiently, until the firedance rehearsal goes awry. They are cast out, and abandon the gods that seemingly abandoned them. The gods are discarded in dark caves, until an urban archeologist comes along... Everybody, dig thru your postcards and match books for "Conelly Inns". I wanna know more!
