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.20250121_211606

Of course, I then had to acquire all the other bar-specific OMC barrels. Lol20250121_211708
