Always excitingto find a mug from a specific tiki establishment. Found this Kahiki Mug No.1 yesterday at a Goodwill store for 50 cents.
And then a couple of week ago I came across this tapa. It's about 5'x5'. Haven't figured out how to display it. |

Score! Antique store find.
Is there a full pictorial somewhere of what Tiki Farm produced when? I see an unordered list that Holden updates sometimes, and a thread of Tiki Farm productions, but not really a definitive catalog? (Perhaps there was one with the retrospective?) |

Good day at an estate sale today !!! Got a pair of universal statuary chalkware native lamps, chalkware hula girl, pair of unpainted (for now) chalkware hula girls, chalkware 50's lamp, burlesque wooden girlie swizzles, pineapple ice bucket, PMP condiment containers, chalkware poodle and some weird wire monkey planter guy...... all in a days work !! here are the native lamps in situ : I passed on the awesome hawaiian lamp- they wanted $325 for it..... plus it had a big chip on her head that was colored in with a sharpie.... still an awesome lamp but too much for me..... if you look closely in the center of this pic you will see the aforementioned tiki condiment caddy that was listed a few posts earlier.... this on was $20 and had the green tiki center piece and all 4 dishes that connect to it...... i left it as the dishes had a couple of tiny chips on the ends of them.

Nice estate sale! Was that really all owned by one person, or did the dealer stock it up with some of their own stuff? Or the person whose estate it was a collector... |

Went back to the same estate sale this morning as i posted above and found some more goodies. ( the hawaiian lamp was gone). Among the paper goods i found most notably a menu from honolulu harry's which everyone missed on day one of the sale and a postcard set from ft. lauderdale featuring the mai kai, the yankee clipper and pier 66 hotels..... bamboolodge scored a pmp coconut mug in the basement this morning that we all must have overlooked on day one as well. i'll post pics of the menu in the honolulu harry thread..... |

Tipsy killer scores! Didnt realize those were unpainted chalkware. You going to try to maybe cast some? Liz sold her pair to Vic/Jungle Trader at the Forbidden Island sale and she wishes she had another set. Glad you went! |

A few more finds from a busy weekend. I've never seen the boxes from these before. Looks like a 70's incense holder, King K. and an old candle still wrapped in plastic. I really dig this HIP plaque. |

I love the outrigger-o-plenty. I have used mine for years to serve snacks down in the bar. A good buffing with a cloth and some mineral oil once in a while and it looks brand new. Nice finds by everyone. |

I recently picked the below item up at a swap meet. Anyone have any idea where it's from? The artist's scribe is "Bill Small" and the name "Coast Originals" is also imprinted on the back. It looks very similar to artwork I've seen at Aloha Jhoes in Palm Springs. The guy who sold it to me did mention he was told it came from a bar in Palm Springs and it's from the 50s. That's basically all I have to go on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Eric [ Edited by: UnkleFunky 2011-03-30 08:40 ] |

Aku Aku Rum Barrel - 53 cents (1/2 off day) This is the mug that made me want to start collecting 'em after reading the "use it like it is aleady chipped" post. No chips yet but let's see after a few drinks. I even did a pastel of it about a month ago as part of my sketches of mugs I want. gabbahey |

Lookie, lookie what I found today. This outrigger seems quite old. It's about 19 inches long. There are no markings of origin. Sorry the pictures aren't better... I don't have much light in my office. I don't know much about wood, but the hull looks like it could be koa. I'm not sure how the sail and mast are supposed to be rigged... gotta look that up. It needs some cleaning yet. [ Edited by: Bongo Bungalow 2011-04-01 11:19 ] |

NICE!! You found a light blue glass AND a dark blue/teal glass - hard to find 2 different kinds at once! Now all you're missing is the green one and you'll have the set! |

Here is my 2.98 find this afternoon... its not exactly a tiki mug but Frank will fit in just fine with the rest of my collection! He is about 8 inches tall and a nice light shade of green which did not show up all that well with the flash from my camera. |
