Here's some recent finds: A Coco Joe's penholder I didn't have: A Strikow kahlua decanter The Elvis Blue Hawaii action figure. It comes with a uke, lei,mini movie poster in a stand, and a long board I wanted this Stockton Islander bucket mug because I don't see much Islander stuff down here... The Harvey's and Malio's were forced upon me by the seller as part of the deal Hecho in Mexico bali Hai mug with no lid: Kon Tiki with a slipcover to replace mine without one: Buzzy Out! |

Book of Tiki, Page 104. In a rather smallish reproduction, unfortunately. Definitely one of the better interiors in the postcard world. |

A couple of years ago, TC member Billbot posted these photos in TikiFinds and was informed by another member that the lamps came from Trader Vics. They are made of wood. I never expected to find one of them myself. However, luck was shining on me recently when I found a similar lamp. The carving is of a different tiki style but the shade and parts appear to be identical to those Billbot found. So fingers crossed, could this also be from a former Trader Vic's ? We did have one here in Kansas City once. Does anyone know more about this style lamp? |

Never seen that one! VERY cool old "Janus" Tiki lamp, no idea if it was made for a chain, or individual places. It's not in the O.A. catalog either. We need to scour postcard interiors to see if it can be found on tables. And those Trader Vic's lamps above are the indeed the original ones, the only type T.V.'s ever had, as seen in "I AM CUBA",--not the chin-less Asian imports you see around now. |

TIKI HUNTERS in the Pasadena area. Great tiki yard sale on 11/14/09. 9AM start time. I saw this ad on Craigslist for a yard sale for tomorrow (11/14/09) http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/gms/1464366891.html Since I couldn't be there in Saturday, I emailed them to ask if I could see the tiki items on Friday. They were nice enough to let me come by for an advanced look. They have a ton of tiki items for sale and they were still setting up. I picked up a few items and I took some phone camera pix of what they still had to sell tomorrow. Some framed Hawaiian prints A few carved tikis At least a dozen CocoJoes Some of you might want to stop by and take a look. They had a few mugs and some old framed menus. Since they were nice to me, I told them I would get the word out. Happy hunting. |

A few carved tikis I've been looking for a Cook Island fisherman's god like this. If anyone has one (or if anyone wants to go get this one) I'd be happy to buy or trade. |

I didn't find much this weekend, which is actually a good thing since my wallet needed a rest after last weekend. I picked up a nice Iolani shirt, a dress, a couple of mugs, a Don the Beachcomber swizzle and money clip and two ashtrays. The lamp was my find of the day. I've wanted one of these for a while now, but this was the first affordable one that I've seen. |

Heranui - what a haul! PTD - Love those menu books. I've never seen some of those menus.
tikithomas - Those were made by a company called Admiral. Doctor Z found a few of those in their original boxes at a garage sale some years ago. Here's a photo: Also, excellent find on those Korla Pandit records. I haven't seen that Latin Holiday one. Sabu |

Thanks for that lp photo, bigbro! Nice to see those drinks actually sitting on the tables. The Covarrubias-like artist is Cornelius De Witt. He illustrated a whole series of these books in the 40s for Little, Brown & Company, as well as the Golden Encyclopedia. They appear to be done in pastel or colored-pencil. The books are over-sized, so the illustrations are nice and large. [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy 2009-11-16 09:15 ] |

Walked in to the local goodwill and saw these on the shelf. I almost dropped dead. The one on the left is marked mai-kai and retains the OMC sticker. The one on the right is marked mai-kai. |
