Anyone know of any articles or Tiki artwork in any vintage issues of Playboy? There are way to many issues to start looking. Any help would be appreatiated. I know the Chicago Mansion had some Witco (?) as per the Book of Tiki. Thanks in advance!

OK...... I'll help you look.

Louis,

There's an issue from June 1966 about how to host a home luau that's got some nice tiki photos including this one of a sweet swinger drinking from a Steve Crane mug:

After seeing Swanky's original post, I went and found my own copy on Ebay.

Here's one with a Buy-It-Now on it right now:

Playboy and tiki -- two of my greatest loves combined! Too, too delicious --

Except of course for the shipping cost of one Playboy magazine as posted on eBay -- $5.50. I believe that's the same as for an anvil.

One of The Playboys I picked up for my Tiki Lounge has a centerfold done up full Tiki style. It's one of the months in 1963.

I've been picking up appropriate reading material from that period to put in the Tiki Lounge once it's completed: Playboy, Hot Rod, Esquire, and of course Mad Magazine. I picked mid 1963 as the cut off date for everything....
