Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

The shirt is actually a barkcloth smoking jacket/housecoat-type thingy. Fits me well, I'll be wandering around the Hukilau in it on occasion. Now I just need pants... The Hawaiian Inn mug was a color I did not have, should go well with the green one. The mermaid carving is African, but still mighty cool. 16 1/2" tall, not a bad size. $20 for the pair! Wheeee! The big green tiki pitcher was from TJMaxx. Not Shoenfeld's, but came with a mix for "Beachcomber Charlie's Tropical Lemonade". Easily the largest mug in my collection. A Mai-Tai this size would probably kill me. Finally got a Webly Edwards album, as well as the Exotica. Both were reasons I need to keep change in my car. Garage sale, no cash on hand. Had to scrounge through the floorboards to collect $1 in change for the pair. The Fu Manchu is different than the one I have and the Surfing Girl mugs are from Latitude 20° in Torrance. The Hale Tiki mug is in there because I was so happy to get it finally. Faaaboolous. The 2 seahorses seem to be made of rattan, with that weird add-plastic-and-bake-into-suncatchers-stuff. Definately vintage, found them in two different places. Anybody know anything about these? Sticker from TikiToes via Ron-Jon's. The two brown mugs seem to ba home-made. They have "CW" scratched into the bottom. Cool inner glaze on the one! And last (not too tiki, but still cool/bizarre): Bonnie Anderson Wrecks 'The Wreck' LP. Recorded live at the Wreck Bar at the Yankee Clipper Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, FL. Its post 1963, has a Zip Code. Any ideas on this?

Hello all...
These are my latest finds form the last month or so.
