Man, maybe I should buy up all the totems and start touting them on e-bay as "Genuine Vintage Tiki" :roll:

It really surprises me that Tiki Gardens sold these items! I guess they were inexpensive, colourful, and to the un-sophisticated savage look just like them there Hawaiian doo-dads.

Well, while they don't fall into what would truly be considered "Tiki"(tm), they do fit into the international market place aspect of The Tiki Gardens Shops.

And I'm sure that without the several years worth of Tiki Central fine tuning of what is "Tiki"(tm), they were close enough.
