This way anybody lookin' or wantin' has a first stop to see whats out there is this tiny Tiki kingdom. Post away ! (OH, and if anybody has questions on trading or selling we can all pm the poster,to keep the thread clean...sound good?) Maybe this could be a prelude to the first great international swizzle trade lol!

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Sat, Nov 28, 2009 7:30 AM Rather a shocked one. :) (Since I am not an "Arrrgh!"-ing pirate) I realize that this is a "show your collection" and trading thread, and that some collectors freely mix (for example) their old and new Tiki mugs on a shelf, but I personally prefer a clear distinction, at home and here, for historical correctness and for the sake of educating newcomers to the culture. Tossing classic Tiki and Revival Tiki together is confusing the issue.
T TIKIVILLE Member Edmonton Alberta Canada Joined: Sep 22, 2008 Posts: 637	T TIKIVILLE Posted posted on Sat, Nov 28, 2009 8:09 AM Ok fair enough, so should we have a seperate thread for old and new? When should the cut off date be? And cant we all just get along? Lol I admit I am new to this in that my expertice is general and unfounded and I guess there is no time like the present for a book on the subject ( not meant as anything but an idea) did you know there is a swizzle stick collectors convention? What I am saying is this is too much for me and light years past my abilities, we will keep this as a show us thread and if somebody chooses to educate then great ! I for one would really dig the information...

BB Bora Boris Mr. Unreasonable Boogie Wonderland Joined: Mar 25, 2005 Posts: 2592	BB Bora Boris Posted posted on Sat, Nov 28, 2009 10:33 AM Tikiville, if you haven’t seen or don’t have Tiki Quest yet it has 3 full pages with some of the best vintage swizzles. There are also some great swizzle shots sprinkled throughout The Book of Tiki and Tiki Modern.* Here are some swizzles that I don’t see very often ~ Mauna Loa Lounge, Mayfair Hotel - Until this year I didn’t know this one existed. The incredibly boring Mark Thomas Outrigger. Hawaiian Village but which one? He kinda looks like a Paul Marshall mug, he’s very cool. I know in this post "Swizzle Enthusiast" Bosko says the Hawaiian Village of Tampa “borrowed” their amazing swizzle stick design from the Hilton Hawaiian Village logo. I'd really like to know where the lumpy little guy came from. *If you already know this or already own these books than nevermind.

Is it a guy playing a drum? I've never seen one up close. Bora Boris, Nice swizzles, as usual. The Tahitian Lounge at the Waldorf Hotel used the Leeteg drummer painting as its logo for Menus, matchbooks, and now apparently swizzles. Here are some photos posted by Taboo Dan. DC

BT Bail Tekey Tiki Centralite West Lawn Park Lot 21 BLK 3 Joined: Jul 07, 2005 Posts: 42	BT Bail Tekey Posted posted on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 10:22 AM Unless I am looking in the wrong place, has there ever been a "Swap Shop" or "Tiki Central Trading Post" If so please let me know where this is. Is this what the TIKI Market Place is supposed to be used for? I still think it would be useful to have an area where we can post smaller items like swizzles, postcards, matchbooks and offer these for trades with other TIKI Central members. I know that I have been searching for a couple swizzles for a while and likewise there may be individuals that are looking for swizzles that I may have. Member can PM each other after that and once a deal has been reached just remove the post. I think all I am doing is restating TIKIVILLE's original idea, but what I don’t know is what is available for trade and what is simply a displayed collection
T TIKIVILLE Member Edmonton Alberta Canada Joined: Sep 22, 2008 Posts: 637	T TIKIVILLE Posted posted on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 10:36 AM sounds like a great Idea to me , Rather than hoarding them all and paying ebay fees to sell them to strangers,we should have a trading place here ! Who's gonna start? ( we can keep this as a swizzle stop if everybodys cool with that,all mine are available for trade )

I just picked up a green version of that Tropicana swizzle above and a bunch of black ones from the Hawaiian Village Tampa. Is there a newer thread I'm missing that I should post them to or is this it?
