Anybody have info on the mug or the place? It is shown in Tiki Quest on page 45 and is attributed to OMC; hope that helps.

I think Orchids of Hawaii may have made these. Nice finds! I found two spears that look similar to the one at the bottom at a local Sally Ann, but I don't think mine screw apart...I'll have to have a closer look!
N naugatiki Tiki Socialite Port Angeles, Wa Joined: Jan 02, 2004 Posts: 882	N naugatiki Posted posted on Fri, Sep 24, 2004 6:46 PM Not the best pics but I found this strange 12 inch tiki with a sour face on one side and a sh*t eating grin on the other. It looks like it has the sense of humor of a hip original but the base has a big carved mushroom on it. Could this be the missing link from tiki to hippie?

I had a pretty good day garage-saling, as far as paper items go. I found a mint copy of the Better Homes & Gardens Guide to Entertaining: ...which has this uncredited photo of Victor Bergeron partaking of a luau: Then I found this small photo of an unknown tiki pool hut in a design brochure from the 1960s: And an ad for the Half Moon Inn in an old Westways magazine: But best of all was looking through a September 1968 copy of PSA Journal (Photographic Society of America), and finding this old photo of Barney West's tikis at the Tiki Junction in Sausalito, CA: Oh. And I found this vintage hula doll too for a quarter: Sabu

I think I have a modified edition of that book, as it has the same photo of Victor & also recipes for a luau ... Good work!

I saw one go for eighty-something dollars on ebay not too long ago, and it's a great thing to look at on your wall, so I'd be pretty happy if I were you.

Very nice vintage velvet! I ran right across the room when I saw her hanging there. I asked the guy how much and he said $30.00. I said "$30.00?" He said "How about $20.00?" I said "sounds good". Paid the man and was grinning the rest of the day. I was just shocked that he was asking $30.00. I thought it would be more. I didn't mean anyhting when I repeated the amount that he said I was just checking out the velvet and thinking about it. Saved myself $10.00 and didn't even have to do anything!! Oh, and that's $20.00 Canadian funds which is like $4.50 US (HA HA!) I know nothing about this painting and the other day was on ebay and saw a cooking book which has the exact picture of the same girl on it! Pretty cool! The girl jogged my memory now and I went to my Hawaiian album collection and sure enough in my collection was a album form the Polynesian Cultural center advertising Hawaii and sure enough there's a picture of the same girl!! Pretty cool to have a velvet that was done probably from the same photos. Would be a good investigation once I get some time. Thought some of you might be interested. Mahalo! Dan [ Edited by: TabooDan on 2004-09-10 02:39 ] Nice find Dan, I just picked up a "Flowers of Hawaii" small book C. 1964. There are several pics of Hawaiian beauties. One picture is that exact girl and pose. The caption..."Hawaii's Poster Girl...beautiful Rose Marie Alvaro, seen in a setting of Hilo-grown orchids" So there's a name to the face!

It's about 5" in diameter and most of it's spines have been broken off. Each spine is sort of t-shaped on the body. I've never seeon one like it. Unfortunately, it's not empty and smells disgusting. Has anyone ever had to clean out something like this?
S Swanky Tiki Socialite Hapa Haole Hideaway, Knoxville, TN Joined: Apr 03, 2002 Posts: 5398	S Swanky Posted posted on Wed, Oct 6, 2004 8:32 AM On my way back from Florida, I had time and stopped at several antique malls to make a bad trip a little better. I got a few goodies and had to leave a couple for high prices or no price. The surfer mug is marked on the bottom "Blue Hawaii" and I hope it's from the Blue Hawaii in Nashville. If anyone knows the truth, let me know. My first Leilani mug is from the Hawaiian Inn. The unmarked brown mug is yet another take on the peanut mug. And last is the Orchids Mr. Bali Hai rip off with lid. It is missing the paint. I also got a couple of cool Derek Hukilau 2004 mugs... The Swank Pad Broadcast - If it's Swank...
