I don't ever seem to find anything for this thread. Yesterday I stopped at an estate sale and found this. This looks like its never been used! 8 Half Shots 8 Big Shots
I really only collect mugs, not really glasses. Anyone have anything they want to trade for some or all of the Trader Vics stuff? |

More Witco, Tipsy! Nice finds everyone, especially the lamp, Tiki Room shirt and little Witco tiki! Beautiful day for hunting, hundreds of people selling, but not much to glean tiki-wise! Today's finds...
A few albums...
Later! PTD |

Usually on Mondays I hit a trifecta of thrift stores. Today they done me good! Not bad, not bad. Decide to hit store #2 even though I never find tiki there. Walking along the shelf and what do I see: Oh YEAH! Stockton Islander baby for ... $1.50 ! Even has its OMC sticker. I was just drooling over Tikisgrl mug exchange from PTD so I am feeling the Islander love today! |

I found the pamphlet recently. It's for the Pottery Village that was located at two places in San Diego. They had a section called "Polynesian Hut and Sea Shells". Not sure if both locations had this or not. But it appears the tiki was at the Mission Valley location, according to the paphlet. The tiki looks about 20 ft tall! |

KIL-LER lamp! Tipsy, the grain on those two pieces is weird, the footstool does nor seem to have any! Definitely Witco, though. Buzzy, good find, as you soitinly know, bare-breasted Coco Joe's girls are hard to find, this one is a close contender to that bare-bottom ashtray. |

It's a Taiaha, which translates to "large wooden tiki stirrer stick."

That's a Maori Carved Wooden Taiaha (Spear), a tourist piece by the look of it, good crisp detailed carving though, nice score. |

Oh I know you aren't throwing the daggers my direction, Surfalaia, but you are right. I guess I really shouldn't be complaining--which is definantly not my intention--because I know that others have harder luck in their neck of the woods. I guess its just that trying to find stuff out in the wild is so addicting that I have such high expectations these days. I just need to put it all in perspective and be thankful of when I do find something no matter what it may be :) |

I was so excited about my ice bucket, I forget to mention that I scored a mug today too! It's a new thrift store that just opened up in Ventura. I don't know anything about this thing. Is it old? It looks like it might be. It says made in china on the bottom, It was only a buck. |

Old thread about it here. But no pictures on that thread any more... In real life, I saw one for $20 at the swap meet a couple months back, but passed on it. Buzzy Out! |

Passed up a similar ice bucket for $25 at a flea market in Ohio a couple months back. They are neat, just a little age. |

Well yes I do. Mine was made into a lamp when I found it for five bucks. It now lives in the Captain's Cabin area of my home lounge. Nice score!! |

I've got one too, but mine has a dent in the top like the diver got into a harpoon fight. I agree that this is the coolest ice bucket ever; I was really excited when I finally found one. |

Found these barstools today at a yard sale for $5 each (score!). Now I need to find somewhere to put them! This is my first tiki bar purchase. I will need to build a tiki bar now. That is our dog Bob Marley Cinderella inspecting the new furniture. |

As I never see tiki mugs in Australia it is always VERY exciting to me when I come across this: I thought you guys might get a laugh out of the price of this mug: There was another one there which was definately an orchids peanut mug and it was $65.. :o [ Edited by: Liana 2009-04-26 01:52 ] |

Time to start fasting PTD to get that shirt to fit! hehe Only 1 place I go to is open on Sundays so I picked up a few things. CoCo Joe's (or is it HIP?) dish and a large volcano bowl (the one I found the other day was a small version) $3.00 for all : Trader Vic's coconut, Iolani beer stein and ugly modern tiki nodder that was only 25 cents so why not - $1.50 for all: Hey Tiki-Kate I picked these shirts up with you in mind, but noticed you already have them. Oh well...I will keep trying for ya! - $2.50 for both : older: |

This week's stuff: A mug from the USA with a handle This guy was lonely all by himself on a big table piled high with junk so I brought him home with me I had an urge for the last couple weeks to dig through a big pile of matchbooks. I finally found a big cheap gallon bag full of them this weekend. I didn't open the bag, but could see a couple Hawaiian matchbooks form the outside. I bought the whole bag and found these Hawaiian ones(and three others): My favorite is this one: Buzzy Out! |
