Headed up to a Maxwell Street Days north of me on a tiki and chisel hunt... A bad turnout due to the weather and it did end up pouring and everyone packed up early... At the 5 th booth I actually looked close at I spotted this from 20 feet away... only my second tiki score at this event in 2 years... It was marked $5, I offered $3 and it was mine. It is carved from wood and the seller said it belonged to his brother or brother in law who brought it back from The Philippines while in the service. I've seen the same tiki on old table lamps at Hala Kahiki. There are no markings or signatures on this mug. Anyone seen one like this before? It is 5 inches or so tall. Mahalo!
