Here's a couple of recent finds. I got pretty lucky on the ship's wheel. The "tiki" is a bit of a mystery. For unknown reasons, I thought it was a "knock down" piece from a carnival. But there's not a mark on it.

There is a hole in the back of his head. Maybe it's why he looks so unhappy.

Any ideas?

So Duane (Psycho Tiki D) and I lucked out and have crossed paths with a super chill guy who is selling off his late brother's tiki/Hawaiiana/collectibles collection.

We spent a few hours today at his place talking tiki and about his brother and I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable Saturday afternoons I have had in a loooong while. We are going to also be helping the fella sell his stuff too--but Duane will post about that later.

Out of this first haul Duane got some really great stuff and I did pretty well with common mugs with a few rarer ones thrown in. All in all...yeah today was pretty awesome!

Now...for my booty!

Man you aint seen nothing yet!! Just keep your eyes peeled for Duane to get home and take pics of his first haul. He got some killer stuff also.

Needless to say this guy's brother was a huge collector that no one on here got the pleasure to know. Today was killer and really it was amazing.

Rick,

Nice scores at Brimfield, especially like the Witco and dude, I still haven't mailed out your mug, I am so sorry, but it has been a killer week.

To add to Liz's comments...because Liz mentioned this to our new friend, today was one of those days you might have once a year. His brother was a long time collector of hawaiiana and tiki and we only saw a fraction of what is going to be sold. More of that in Tikimarket place, but suffice to say we haven't even scratched the surface yet. I thought I had seen it all and I was so wrong.

Special mahalos to our host, his wife and children for letting us invade their space on a Saturday. I had the best time discussing collecting and the person who owned this remarkable collection. I spent more today than I have in awhile but I think it was well worth it. Todays finds...

Probably now, my most favorite piece I own. I have never seen anything like this before. Larger hula figure in a bamboo frame with raised barkcloth fabric. The palm and hula girl are chalkware. This is a real beauty and very heavy.

After the great stuff I found this week, I stopped by my local hotspot, today to see what they had. I prolly shoulda gone straight home. As many of you know, when you have other people looking for you, they don't always make the best choices & sometimes ya gotta take the good with the bad. Here's today's stuff.
The ultra rare fork & spoon:

I think --if you look on page 249 of this thread you will see a souvenir picture you got from a place by the same name but in D.C. instead if FL so maybe it was a chain?

I found these today in a small thrift store, I suppose they arent really "tiki" , but I think they are cool. They were still in the box wrapped in crumbling tissue paper and the little brass cigarette holders still have a "handcrafted" sticker. All 4 are stamped with the Lego logo and say copyright 1960 on the bottom, 3 of the 4 also have the Lego sticker.

An estate sale today brought me this commercial mixer which is a nice bar addition but after a I turned it around I saw it said “Don The Beachcomber” on it. When I checked out the woman said her husband worked at the Denver branch and that’s where it came from. If only this thing could talk what drink stories it would tell. The first thing that came to mind was this tread. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=26988&forum=10&start=0

The only other tiki thing there was this 6 inch carving that looks very International Market Placelike but has more wear than you expect from from the carver there who started in the 1990‘s

I actually found something almost identical yesterday. Although I may be wrong, I believe it's actually one of those old-style lighters...
At any rate, I just went ahead and popped in a part from an old lighter, and was a perfect fit. Would post an image, but my girl took off with the camera!

Three faced bucket mug from Hawaiian Gardens, San Jose CA.

I believe Hawaiian Gardens is the restaurant where my parents had their wedding dinner in 1942.

Does anyone have any info on this place? What years it was in existence?
I looked for it when I went on a trip to San Jose, but found no evidence of it. Also, the church where they got married had just burned down one year prior to my visit. I did find their first apartment however.

Thanks.

I found a stash of Tiki Farm mugs* at one place and a set of old style Trader Vic salt and pepper shakers at another.

Anyone know if Exotiki is based off a specific Horne painting?

The S&P set amuses me, because while we have a local Trader Vics, I'm pretty sure we've had the orange (newer) shakers for quite a long while.

An estate sale today brought me this commercial mixer which is a nice bar addition but after a I turned it around I saw it said “Don The Beachcomber” on it. When I checked out the woman said her husband worked at the Denver branch and that’s where it came from. If only this thing could talk what drink stories it would tell. The first thing that came to mind was this tread. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=26988&forum=10&start=0

Nice find. But are you sure she said Denver? I've never heard of a Don the Beachcomber being located in that city.

That darn wikipedia! It looks like there's a thread on TC of Don the Beachcomber locations that mentions Denver (and even has a pic):
