Here's that Cocojoes bottle opener. There seems to be a similar style, but it doesn't tell us if your tiki carver copied a Cocojoe, or perhaps Cocojoe modeled their tikis after one such as yours. |

Wow, I'd say that's a match! This certainly helps the on going search. [ Edited by: Pepe le Tiki 2005-09-07 10:17 ] |

I've got that bottle opener too, and it's a better match than my necklace is. Here it is anyhow, it has a very translucent bronze sheen to it. This is one of my favorite finds. I found it at the thrift store behind my house that tends to be fairly sparse in the tiki department. He came with the original gold chain which I have kept. I normally check the jewelry department for the goofy resin moai that was so popular, haven't found one yet though. |
