Long time lurker. Recent first-time poster. After 9 years I still haven't been able to top this Goodwill find in the sleepy coastal town of Tillamook, Oregon. When i caught a glimpse of it at the back of the shelf buried behind typical thrift store flotsam and jetsam, my brain said "cookie jar" because the letters "ki" were visible. But when i brought it out into the daylight, I simply said "holy sh!t". It was my first visit to this particular GW and my second visit months later produced an OMC moai (unlabeled - when I saw it I was hoping it was also from The Tikis, alas. I'm not complaining.)
My succeeding visits (maybe 10 more over the years) have yielded next to nothing. But that's ok. Of course, I then had to acquire all the other bar-specific OMC barrels. Lol |
