Fuji mug at the last shop before going to dinner . . $3.00! Good times!

Small concrete tiki ashtray. Aloha Spirit Hawaiian Art and Popular Design Schiffer Publishing 1998. Westwood Tiki pitcher and four mugs. Large Ali'i Gold Lono Tiki-This sucker is heavy and 15" tall.

R, I would have never even looked at this except the lady selling this had the Coco Joes Ali'i tiki along with some other newer Trader Vic's stuff. I asked her about the Vic's stuff she had and she told me about the bunny which was sitting on another table with some other non-tiki stuff. She told me she purchased it at an estate sale and didn't even realize the Vic's connection until later on. Nice finds on your LA trip and lately! PTD [ Edited by: Psycho Tiki D 2011-05-01 18:30 ]
D DejaVoodoo Member Woodbridge, NJ Joined: Feb 07, 2008 Posts: 144	D DejaVoodoo Posted posted on Sun, May 1, 2011 7:32 PM I scored two coconut mugs online for $5 each. One is a plain Trader Vic's (without the white "Aloha!") and the other is from Orchids Of Hawaii. These will be my first vintage Tiki mugs. Up until now everything I collected came from Tiki Farm. I thought I made a good choice in the Trader Vic mug (although now I kind of wish it said "Aloha!" to give it some kind of distinguishing feature) but after searching TC, I realized the Orchids Of Hawaii coconut mug might not be so highly regarded. Depending upon when it was produced (the place I bought it from claimed 1950s or 60s) determines whether it's truly vintage or a more recent made in China, Dynasty "knockoff." Darn it! Orchids Of Hawaii just sounds so exotic! Judging by the less than stellar pictures both mugs have clearly been used frequently. They're a little rough around the edges. Still, for $10 plus shipping, I don't think I did too badly just to have some coconut mugs in my collection. :)
