I don't see what I posted as "whining" about not having tiki, I really do have too much mostly Kahiki.

But what I was talking/"whining" about was sharing the info and pictures of what people do have, I did it when Kate asked if I would send her my ITV catalog and even by posting MANY Kahiki photos to her site don't know what happened to those pics but hey I tried.

And have even helped many Tiki book writers with info and got little in return did it to add to tiki history documentation.

One guy did send me two bottles of Havana Club once.

Really don't collect or hunt tiki especially on eBay anymore as it just got too much, the big wallets would always beat you and the cool stuff would often disappear to some "hey could you end this auction early" guy who would not even give people a fair chance at the tiki item up for sale.

Have not done a search for "tiki" on eBay for years.

Thank you for posting the pictures of yer stuff it's most times stuff few ever see in person.

But hey why did you not want to answer the question...

"So, the darker brown one looks like the Hofman version made for the Kahiki is it the same or even made by Hofman pottery?"

Seems like a good thought to me, on a forum that talks about such things.

You are a legend in tiki collecting that's for sure so who better to answer that question. But then you don't have to answer to anybody that is true.

Sorry it was an honest question then with an honest thought as to why that might not be answered as it has come up in the past with other collectors.

Keep posting as I will not post to your posts anymore if that's what you want.
