Tiki Finds

I found this yesturday at a local flea market for $4.

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.
Hang Tiki by Crazy Al and Stump by Jimmy C.
Both Tiki Farm 2001

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?)
As with any collectior, 2 in a set gets me thinking about seeing what it would take to get them all or as close as possible. Although I guess I'd need a pictures and lists of everything the Farm did in 2001 which probably isn't reasonable.

scored these target tikis on craigslist last week- not a bad way to start the season......

Not such a good way, either. :wink:

well than perhaps these little items are more to your liking, sven......... BEHOLD!!!

sugar cubes from TIKI BOB'S !!!! picked these up today......

Wow! And in two different designs! Score! :lol:

^^^ Sweeeet...

A group of those very framable Matson menus.

A tacky palm tree lamp over 5 feet tall, gaudy yes but I think a black light will pull it together a little better.

A few mugs.

A little misc.

And a shirt I never expected to find in the wild.
Napili Hawaiian shirt with a Treasure Craft ceramic zipper pull tiki !!

The bottles are still 3/4 full.

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...

I guess there is good stuff to find in "hell"

all of it was from one sale.... the woman liked hawaiian stuff. There were several united airlines hawaiian posters as well.

Posting a couple pictures of my velvet find here, not everyone who looks at "finds" looks at the velvet thread...more info in the velvet thread...

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.....

That estate sale looked incredible. I liked that mermaid too!

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.

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.

Found these this morning at the Flea Market. A couple Wigglers, Wood Tiki mug, Made in China Tiki Mug, Resin Hula girl, another spoon and fork and a nice small carved statue.

I like that bottom one, the faded look kinda works with it. Never find that kinds thing up here. cowboys yes... nude tribal women....no

my finds from this weekend, really happy with what I found! But does anyone know anything about the tiki? It seems to be made of clay and is signed Andrea of Kona.

Oh yea, the tapa in the background is a 14 foot by 9 foot samoan wedding tapa I got for Christmas, aloha

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

A little find from a Goodwill store. I like the Goodwill stores and support them all I can.

Good day at a Pueblo junk shop.

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.

This is the first one I've ever found!!!!

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.

Wow! They don't make'em like that anymore!

Holy crap !!!!!!!!!! Bongo, That is an amazing find. The detail is awesome. Looks like a good size model. Thanks for sharing.

You guys are too kind. This was in a little shop filled with European furniture and the clerk was very nice. It's what makes collecting fun.

Looks like a Fijian style canoe. Nice details and craftmanship! Freddie

We found a pair of Trader Vic's Voodoo Grog glasses. We'll be putting one on e-Bay.

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!

What happened to the Mego Dr. McCoy?

Hello all...
Found this sweet beauty a few months ago. Gave Ken Kanaka at TikiTalk the first announcement, but thought I should post it here as well.
I came across this hand-painted watercolor and gouache rendering of Disney's Polynesian Resort at a flea market. From what I could research, it was done for a proposed reworking of the entrance in the mid-1980s that was never realized.

Naaaaaaaace! Especially for a flea market find! Congrats.

WOW! Love the Moais & the Giant A-Frame Mono-Rail station.

AWESOME!!!! PM GROG and GROG give you address where to send it to GROG.

Now that's a once in a lifetime find, congratulations and thank you for sharing it. Wendy

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.
