Sorry, for the poor quality of the photo. Two copper lanterns from The Netherlands. No on/off switch. Just plug them in and they light up. DHR is the manufacturer. They're marked "Heklicht" [sternlight] on the front. [ Edited by: Naneki 2012-05-08 12:21 ] [ Edited by: Naneki 2012-05-08 12:23 ] |

Wow, lightning strikes twice in one month. Another yard sale find. This one is larger and more elaborate. Purchased from a former US serviceperson who brought it back from the Phillipines. Will probably keep this one and sell or trade the other one now. Don't have room for both. |

I got this yesterday, I didn't know that it lit up at first but Mrs. Bongofury noticed and with some haggling help from Bongofury it was mine for $35.00. Lights on! Lights out! Both! :D :D :D :D :D |

Red forward and green aft..really? Just don't sail that ship on open water or you'll get in real trouble with the coastguard. |

Thrift store trawling, I picked a 'barrel' mug off the shelf; turning it over in may hand only to find I had a decidedly 'non-tiki' item. Much head scratching and Googling later, I still don't know what I have. Any ideas? I hope this is the correct topic to post a 'brain-picking' request for a non-tiki item. To be on the safe side I'll mention that this week I picked up a grapefruit-yellow Loewy Le Creuset 2.5 coquelle for $10... cheers |

Looks like you have a print of one of Fernand Leger's Cubist masterpieces. I dig his work. I think this one was painted in the early 1920's. [ Edited by: Slacks Ferret 2012-07-06 22:06 ] |

Totally guessing here, but with the Thunderbird and made in Canada, I'll posit CWC = Canadian Wood Carvers. I'm no Latin-speaking guy, my best guess for the motto is something like "saw (carve?), succeed or die". Not sure why a woodcarvers event (trophy) cup would be ceramic.??!! |

I have seen the SS Cookie Hut on T C before. It plays the theme from Gilligan island when you open the lid. BTW,it's a cookie jar.The surfer on the wave is also a cookie jar and I've never seen it before. You surf freaks will like this. Open the lid and one of three songs will play: Surfing safari Cheers [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2012-07-27 21:23 ] |

This is an eBay win. I was surprised that I was the only person that bid on it since it's in 'Tiki Mugs: Cult Artifacts of Polynesian Pop'. The lightbulb that came with it looks ancient. |

It does look like leather in the pics. I think its kind of old due to the cracks in the wood which you can't see in the picture. I paid $30 for it. |

Just in case you're interested, Moreddi is an importer mark (as opposed to a manufacturing brand). Founded by Maury and Ed Frank, (get it - Moreddi), this was the stamp for their importer company that supplied their Frank Bros stores in exotic Long Beach, CA. Still cool Danish furniture, and they were supposedly among the earliest importers. Although they carried pieces that were kind of the little siblings to the more famous works from the big name designers, these kinds of brands brought a lot of great modern pieces to a broader audience at a lesser price, often with designs that had a nice style in their own right. We happened to look into the name one time after getting some dining chairs with the Moreddi mark. -Randy |
